HOW TO MAKE VEGAN KIMCHI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut the head of cabbage in half lengthwise and slice off the ends. Quarter lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces.
• Place the cabbage and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, massage the salt into the cabbage until it starts to soften a bit. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand for 1-2 hours. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold water, then let drain in a colander.
• Meanwhile, chop the green onions into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces.
• Peel the ginger and garlic.
• Cut the daikon radish into matchsticks.
• Combine the rice, water, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce in a mason jar or medium bowl. Use an immersion blender or standing blender to make a smooth paste. Mix in the sugar and gochugaru, starting with 1 tablespoon for a mild flavor and up to 5 tablespoons to make it spicier.
• Gently squeeze any remaining water from the cabbage and transfer to a large bowl, along with the green onions and daikon. Toss to combine.
• Add the seasoning paste to the bowl. Wearing gloves if you'd like to protect your hands from stings, stains, and smells, gently massage the paste into the vegetables until they are thoroughly coated.
• Pack the kimchi into a large jar, pressing down until the seasoning paste rises to cover the vegetables and leaving at least 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space at the top. Seal the jar with the lid.
• Eat the kimchi right away or, to ferment, let the jar stand in a dark place at room temperature for 2-14 days. You may see bubbles inside and liquid may seep out of the jar; to be safe, place a bowl or plate under the jar to catch any overflow. Check the kimchi once a day. When it reaches your desired flavor, transfer the jar to the refrigerator. Eat right away, or let sit for another week or 2 for the flavors to deepen.

KIMCHI GRILLED CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Shred the cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
• Add the kimchi to a small bowl and use kitchen shears to cut into small pieces.
• Butter both sides of each slice of bread.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kimchi and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sugar and cook for an additional minute, stirring to incorporate. Transfer the kimchi to a bowl and wipe out the skillet.
• Turn the heat to medium and add both slices of butter bread to the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Flip the bread, then add the American cheese to one slice and all but 2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese to the other slice. Top the American cheese with the kimchi and remaining 2 tablespoons cheddar. Cook until the cheese starts to melt and the underside of the bread begins to turn golden, 3-4 minutes.
• Sandwich the slices of bread together and cook, flipping once, for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is gooey and fully melted and the bread is well-toasted.
• Transfer to a cutting board and cut in half.
