Ajumma Republic Kimchi Sauce 300 g (Pack of 3)

Product Information

So dear Holly, even if this post is already a few years old, I’m hoping you want to help me and my sad, salty cabbage! Do you think there is a way to save it (the saltiness is extreme though, I cannot taste cabbage, only salt)? Or can you tell me what I might have done wrong? I still have a great kimchee filling waiting in the fridge, so I’ll definitely try again using new cabbages and, of course, a different baptizing technique. Adjustment of Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes (Gochugaru): The spiciness of the sauce can be tailored to your taste by adjusting the amount of Gochugaru. The heat level varies between different brands, so it's wise to start with a smaller amount and gradually add more to achieve your preferred level of spiciness. Peel the garlic and ginger, then place in a food processor with the sugar and blitz to a smooth paste. Transfer it to a bowl and mix in the shrimp paste and gochugaru until combined.

Thank you so much for the reply! It’s great having a Korean person helping me out with making kimchi 😉 Put the cabbage in the clean mixing bowl and separate using your fingers. Arrange in layers, with a little salt sprinkled between each layer. Cover the bowl with a plate and leave to stand for 2–3 hours. The cabbage will soften and become limp, and should be sitting in a pool of water when you return to it. It will have reduced in volume by about a third.Incorporate Smoked Fish Sauce: Substitute regular fish sauce with smoked fish sauce to add a smoky nuance to the sauce. It can be done by smoking the fish sauce over wood chips, like cherry or oak, at low temperature. The smoky flavor can add an intriguing dimension to the sauce. As someone who was born & raised in Korea, I can’t imagine substituting Korean ingredients for kimchi, even though I can for other Korean dishes. Refrigerate and taste kimchi that’s at the bottom every few days. Toss around kimchi so that the kimchi on top gets rotated to the bottom and the kimchi on bottom gets rotated to the top (then cover with outer layers at the very top). Kimchi! It's a word that resonates with flavor, tradition, and the art of Korean culinary creativity. But what makes this fermented dish so magical and captivating to the palate? It's all in the sauce, the lifeline that breathes life into an age-old favorite. And today, you'll be the conductor of this flavorful symphony, orchestrating a culinary masterpiece that spans generations and reaches into the heart of Korean cuisine.

Korean coarse sea salt Taste: It’s a fermented dish. It’s sour,some what spicy, umami, and tangy. The flavor will change as it ferments more.To ferment faster, I eventually transferred it into a different container. This allowed us to have more of that tangy kimchi flavor. So storage containers do make a difference in the quality and taste of kimchi. And thanks also for the liquid suggestion. Now my kimchee has been in the fridge for 3-4 days and has not released a lot more liquid. But my (chinese) husband is a big fan. He wants me to make a huge container and add a fresh habanero.
