Mrs. Irish and I are going to make a batch of this stuff, but we're going to skip the fish sauce and dried shrimp in it and use red pepper flakes instead of the pepper paste. We've making sort of an Alabama version of it.

When I went to the store yesterday to buy the Napa cabbage you are supposed to use I grabbed a jar of the commercial version and we had it yesterday with a patty melt I made and it was damn good.

I'm going to start with this gals recipe and tweak it to make it our own as we experiment with it.

The stuff is supposed to be really good for your gut health. Sauerkraut is supposed to be good for you too, but all the commercial brands are processed so much that they kill all the good bacteria that supposed to live in it... lactobacilli

Has anyone ever made any kimchi?
