Can't wait for a kimchi post, as well as korean short ribs.

As an owner of a Korean designed Smart television, it came with a Korean streaming cultural app called Arirang TV.
There is a food-specific set of videos regarding Korean foods called "Tales of Hansik".
One of them explains the custom of small side dishes served with the meal, as a newly opened local restaurant does near me.

Mind sharing? I've never known what the deal with the side dishes was

It's the last vid in the playlist; "Banchan, to stimulate the appetite, and provide balance with bap (rice).

Requesting a small batch simple kimchi recipe. On the scale of a single head of napa cabbage.

Tried to make kimchi once, and I think I overdid it on the garlic/ginger/leek because it tasted like burning tires.

The Sriracha Cookbook has a recipe scaled to that, though I find it too hot for more than a small amount at any time.
I really need to try actual Korean chile powder.

1 Nappa cabbage (~1kg)
1/2 cup kosher salt
1 gallon water (~3.784L)

Cut nappa how you prefer, and throw into bowl
Add salt, toss, and wait two hours
Add the gallon of water, leave overnight up to 24hrs
Drain thoroughly, (I squeeze mine too) then add:

6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1.5 tsp ginger, grated
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup sriracha :supaburn:
6 green onions, including white parts sliced
1 large carrot, grated

Mix thoroughly, then cover and leave at room temp for 2-3 days.
Put into containers and refrigerate

The book says it'll last six months... but I always run out before then.

Sometimes my mother complains that her fresh kimchi was salted too long and hence not as crunchy. How long do you let your cabbage sit after salting? Depending on what she's making, mom will let the cabbage sit in salt anywhere from 4-6 hours to overnight and then soak/rinse in fresh water.

The (only) recipe I've used says two hours before soaking. I find it to be pretty crunchy.
In fact, the white heart/spine of the leaves are my favourite part.

So i noticed my local asian mart had those rice cake noodle things, and tried my hand at Tteokbokki (Ddeokbokki, Topokki, Dukbokki- whatever).

I used the recipe from Eat Your Kimchi (Ex-firm tofu instead of fish cakes); finished with a nice sticky barbecue sauce consistency. Super hot to start, but it mellows out as it cools.
The rice cakes have a texture like nothing I've ever eaten except maybe... dense marshmallows? Tapioca pearls? :raise:
