Very cool. I just need to get some jars and give it a whirl. My mom uses the same trick to lure me over. :)
If you are interested I will post my recipe.
Kimchi is actually very easy to make. 5 minutes to cut up the cabbage and put it into the brine. Maybe 20 minutes at the other end to make the red pepper paste, mix it and bottle it in jars.
It’s kind of gratifying the first time you eat some you made yourself.
