This vegetarian kimchi is a great traditional Korean dish. The sweetness in this recipe is from natural sources like persimmon and cucumber, unlike other kimchi versions that use sugar. It has a great flavor and just enough spice.
Ingredients
- 1 head napa cabbage, chopped
- ¼ cup salt, divided
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
- 1 small white onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 green onions, minced
- 1 ripe persimmon, chopped
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 small radish, shredded
- cayenne pepper to taste

Step 1
Rinse cabbage well. Put cabbage in a bowl and sprinkle liberally with salt, tossing to mix. Set aside for 1 hour.
Step 2
Mix more salt into cabbage and set aside for another hour.
Step 3
Wash and drain cabbage. Combine onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender with water. Blend on high speed until smooth.
Step 4
Stir together rinsed drained cabbage, garlic-ginger mixture, minced green onions, persimmon, cucumber, radish, and cayenne pepper, and mix well.
Step 5
Transfer mixture into airtight containers and refrigerate for 3 days before serving.
