Vegetable Kimchi

Ingredients for Vegetable Kimchi

• 900g crunchy vegetables (such as radishes, asparagus, carrots, cucumbers, beets, or turnips), cut into 3/4" pieces

• 3 tablespoons kosher salt

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 10 spring onions, cut on a diagonal into 1" pieces

• 50g gochugaru (coarse Korean red pepper powder) or 4 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, finely ground

• 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

• 2 tablespoons fish sauce

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger

How to make Vegetable Kimchi

In a large bowl, toss together vegetables, salt, and sugar. Let sit at room temperature 1–3 hours for juices to release. Add spring onions, gochugaru, garlic, fish sauce, and ginger; toss to coat.

Divide kimchi between two 1-qt. jars, distributing liquid evenly and leaving 1" headspace.

Eat immediately or let sit on countertop 2 days to allow fermentation to begin before refrigerating. Flavours will deepen over time.

Kimchi can be made 2 months in advance. Open occasionally to release gases.
