That looks delicious. Care to share you recipe for the home aid kimchi?
I just want it to be known that I was open and honest.....
Go buy 1 Napa cabbage, sea salt without any anti caking agent, a daikon radish, 1/2 pound carrots, ginger, one bunch of green onion, garlic, garlic chili paste, and some fish sauce. And distilled water if you're not on a well.
Also not a bad idea to get some Korean Red Chili pepper flakes. I amazoned some.
Cut the stem off the Napa cabbage and cut into 1-2 inch pieces. Then layer and salt with one tbs sea salt per each layer, let rest for 3 hours. When this is done rinse off the salt with distilled or well water. Then go ahead and grate the daikon, carrots, 1" piece of ginger, and 3 garlic cloves on a box grater or food processor. Cut the green onions into 2 inch pieces. Then in a large bowl add the Napa cabbage, grated daikon, carrot, ginger, garlic, and chopped green onion. Add 4 teaspoons chili paste and 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Mix with your hands. You can now add a tbs or more of Korean red chili pepper flake if you want it to be NWGS (Not White Girl Safe). Then pack into a wide mouth mason jar and keep pushing down to keep the brine covering the kimchi. Let if ferment for 3-6 days depending on how sour you like it. You may use a fermentation top for your mason jar at this point. Then place in your fridge for about a week to mellow out.

And this lactic acid fermentation is an anerobic fermentation, so it needs to be submerged in the brine.
If you can't get enough brine from pushing down on the kimchi, you can make a brine of 3 tbs sea salt in 4 cups distilled water to keep it submerged.
