Hi ,

Check out Heidi's Kimchi recipe in the files section for this list.

It's really easy. I make the " white " kimchi by not adding any vegs

outside the napa cabbage and not adding the pepper. It's still has

some zip (from the cabbage). I need it to be real easy because I

have very little extra time and my health is also not so hot.

Heidi's recipe is especially good because the instructions are very

detailed and she even included pictures. It's also pretty foolproof.

Good luck!

Welcome to the list! There's a PDF in the files section which illustrates

how to make kimchi, a fermented cabbage food that can be superior to

sauerkraut. I strongly recommend checking it out.

Good luck!

Oh ,

You're a gem! I've looked at many of the files here trying to understand the

importance of

CLO, etc, in my diet, but I didn't even know what Kimchi was so I skipped it.

Thank you

for pointing it out. So nice of Heidi to put that together for those of us

raised on Kraft

mac 'n cheese, and canned corn. Also glad to here that you are just making the

" white "

kimchi cause that is what I'll start out with. I have to go really slow and

simple.

AND....you say it's pretty foolproof? Well, good cause if anyone can screw up a

recipe, I

can. lol

Thanks again,

'

Oh, ps.........is there a special reason folks use that napa cabbage? Can we

use other

cabbages like the purple kind?

Hi ,

I think Heidi said you could use just about any veggies, but I'm not

sure about omitting the napa cabbage. I wouldn't omit it just

because I love the taste of it. If I recall correctly Heidi has

said that napa cabbage is " born to ferment " , so it's good to include

it to ensure fermentation success. But my memory is not so great,

so don't quote me on that.

If you're just getting started, you might want to try the crispy

pecans and almonds. They're easy to make and yummy and very easy on

the digestion. I practically lived off of them when I first started

this diet. They're still a staple around my house. I bought a

dehydrator which makes it really easy. The dehydrator has been a

great investment. I use it to make jerky and other goodies.

Happy fermenting!
