 |
|
Maybe kimchi doesn't float your boat, so make sauerkraut instead! It's terribly simple. I did it last year and I'm doing it again this year. Basically you just cut up cabbage, salt it, pack it in to a container, and wait. There's really not much more to it!
This webpage has great ideas and directions:
http://www.wildfermentation.com/makingsauerkraut.htm
The one on the left is made from 2 huge green cabbages and 1 small purple one and should produce a pink-ish kraut. The one on the right is from 5 medium green ones, 4 carrots and a couple onions.
This stuff is great with the nice sausages that they have at Carrefour or EMart. Your Korean friends will love it and will be SO impressed. So will your Korean girlfriend's mother.  And it's healthy - chock full of Vitamin C!
Enjoy! |

Awsome! That website is amazing.
I am going to start a batch today. Cabbage is also very cheap these days. |

Are you comparing CANNED sauerkraut from Carrefour to my HOMEMADE epicurean delight? For shame...
Actually, all of the ingredients plus the 2 containers cost me just 20,000 won. And that will give me enough sauerkraut to last until I never want to see sauerkraut again until next year. Eight cabbages worth of sauerkraut is a helluva lot. The expensive part is all the sausages I buy to eat with it! |

Nothin' makes me toot like a bit of sauerkraut in the chute!
My last boyfriend forbid me from eating it.
He's gone. Maybe it's time for some kraut!  |
