It has Chinese cabbage, daikon radish, spring onion, carrot, pepper powder, garlic, ginger and Celtic sea salt.  Just leave out overnight then refrigerate.  Eat in a week for a fresh flavor, longer for sour.

That's one way to temp ME into eating veggies. I used to love that stuff when I was a raw vegan. That's how I learned to make it properly. I liked it best after about 4 days at room temperature. Mine was closer to sauerkraut though - not as many spices.

What a perfect setting for the pic.  Cheesy

The pic definitely looks very tasty! I normally hate doing any recipes, preferring mono-eating, but this sort of thing is quite interesting. Plus, it's more in tune with the views held by non-raiwsts - at least, I'm sure that non-rawists wouldn't be disgusted by the above.

I love kimchi and I think I'll try this out next time I'm vegetable and fruit shopping.

I forgot to compliment your photo on the sashimi roll topic so I'll do that here, and also compliment this photo as well. The photos are clutch, if my fellow posters are anything like me then they know that they are about 3 times or more likely to make the recipes in books that have pictures than the ones without!

Thanks guys.  It was a cute idea with the map underneath, if I do say so myself.

I just put some together and we'll see what happens. I "covered" it in a glass bowel with the last of the cabbage leaves. I also used a fresh hot pepper instead of powder, but if that's not enough I'll add some cayenne as well. I love the spice!

I think the Korean powder is pimento powder, as it is not too spicy.  Cayenne and paprika would be good too.  But none of that is necessary so long as you have some hot peppers.  I love it hot.  Kyle, do try a minced habanero in there sometime, eh?

You know, you can do an Italian giardiniera (sic?), which is similar to kimchi, by adding some pepperocino, sweet red pepper, cauliflower and some herbs like oregano and rosemary to some Napa cabbage.  Cabbage was born to ferment and has all the nice little lactobaccilus bacteria on the leaves.

I think something went wrong with my kimchi. I left it out from the fridge for much longer then one day, and it looked and smelled a little funny when I took it out.

Oh, well, what is the room temperature like?  Here in Texas, I have to refrigerate it soon after making or it gets too sour too fast.  And then it's just not as light and fresh.  Better luck next time, dude.

I've had kimchi from a jar that I really liked, I believe it was the "Sunja" brand, and also from a Korean restaurant. Compared to those two, mine seemed slimy and not as...good.
