Yes, you can but you will have to wait longer for salting. As you saw in my emergency kimchi video, the cabbage is sliced thin strips, so it will salt faster than the cabbage strips for easy kimchi recipe.

Hi,
I watched the emergency kimchi. Can I use napa cabbage and make the easy paste same like emergency kimchi? I watched the regular kimchi recipe and it looks like it takes more time. I’m trying to make it easy with napa cabbage.

” I was so happy about it I think the guy thought I was a bit crazy…” You are one of passionate cooks! I know how you felt when you find the hot pepper flakes. : )

Thanks to you and all your dedication is was easy for me. I know my writing can not really express how grateful I am to you. My husband loved and was so surprised that I could make it. We had an amazing dinner because of you. My parents are from the Dominican Republic so sometimes it is hard to find certain ingredients for foods I want to make. When I went looking for red pepper flakes I went all over town. The last store I went to is the one I that had it, I was so happy about it I think the guy thought I was a bit crazy.
Thank you again, and also I read your blog about your travels and your youtube show, Congratulations. Hard work pays off. And because you love what you do it shows and you spread it around the world. Corny I know.

I was too nervous and wanted to taste the full recipe first! So I had a friend find me some real Korean Red Pepper! Now, to get down to business…. :)

You have to keep kimchi in the fridge, then it will last long time. Otherwise, It will go too sour and soggy. If a refrigerator is not available, I would make a small batch of kimchi and enjoy it in a short time.

Hi
I have not been here in a while. Last time I made some of your recipes I was pregnant and could not stop craving Kimchi. Well I am pregnant again and so craving more kimchi. I had such a great experience with that Kimchi I made last time. I was in FL but now I moved upsate NY, there are no Korean restaurants here so I have to make my own kimchi, and all of the other great recipes you have here. I just want to say thank you again for your website and being so awesome.
I wish I knew I was gonna be craving this earlier because all the stores are closed, but the moment my hubby gets home I am off the market. Yay
