I tried several kimchi recipes before finding this one. This is a good kimchi recipe. I I let mine ferment for 5 days. Then I covered it and placed it in the refrigerator. My husband and I try to eat a little daily. Kimchi contains healthy bacteria and probiotics that aids in the digestion process. This recipe can also be found at gardengirlrecipes.com.
