Last month our refrigerator died and we had to throw out a large batch of kimchi. I was very sad.

Tonight we are heading to the In Laws for a party and I'm hoping she will give me a new batch and hopefully cook some kimchi soup or kimchi fried rice.

Sounds so good. Can you suggest a recipe? I've never made it myself.

Put a good amount of cabbage in a 1L mason jar, cover with a 3-5% mixture of non-iodized salt and filtered water (iodine and chlorine kill the process). Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 days, feel free to open the lid to expel gas and mix the top forming yeast back in.

That will give you saurkraut or kimchi, depending on how you spice it.
