White Kimchi
The mild cousin of red kimchi, white kimchi is delicious on it's own or on a sandwich. This version uses fresh ingredients and leverages a pickle pipe to keep the process simple.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs napa cabbage, shredded
- 2 tbsp kosher salt + 1 tsp
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 bunch scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp sugar

Salt and Set
Place the 2 tbsp salt and cabbage in a bowl and toss. Cover the bowl with a plate and towel for two hours.
Rinse and Mix
Rinse, squeeze, and re-rinse the cabbage in cold water. Squeeze out remaining excess water and put in a large bowl. Mix in carrots, scallions, garlic, ginger, 1 tsp salt, and sugar. Toss well.
Pack and Pipe
Put a couple of handfuls of cabbage mixture into mason jar and tamp. Continue this process until cabbage mixture is gone or jar is filled to the shoulder. Top with glass weight. Place the pickle pipe on top and seal jar with ring. Allow to ferment in a cool, dry, dark place for 3-5 days.
After 3-5 days, open and enjoy!
I like to eat mine on southern hand rolled biscuits.
