how to make kimchee

Finally found out how to make this side dish that is usually bought at the local korean market. It was a random moment when the ah-ju-ma decided to take a load off and have me mix a huge bowl of cabbages. It was alright though, b/c I was curious as to how to make this thing i nteh first place.

So here are the ingredients and steps:

1) clean and cut cabbages and mix it with salt. Leave it for a couple of minutes for it to retain some water.
2) mix and stir with red pepper powder, crushed garlic, ginger powder, and (those tiny shrimps in a bottle found in korean markets). Sorry don't know how to call it in English.
And that is it! Let is go through its fermentation by leaving it on the kitchen counter.

I never liked kimchee as a little girl. But this was pretty good. even when it was fresh.
