Please, we live where we cannot but kimchi ( and I am a Kdrama fanatic) and would like to make some. Please post your wife’s recipe. Thank-you.

Has anyone tried the canned or bottled Sauerkraut that’s sold in grocery stores?

Yep; quality varies some, too tart or not tart enough, but most brand names are OK and some store brands as well. The canned stuff keeps forever.

I bought some beer brined kraut and it was very good and not as salty.

Seriously-
These dumb kids. I’ve been a cabbage lover my entire life. Anyway you do it! But I especially love it on 100% pure beef franks and Gianella bread from Chicago

5 pounds of shredded cabbage.
3 tablespoons of sea or kosher salt.
Toss ingredients and store in a glass jar and refrigerate.
Don’t be tempted to add more salt. This is enough.
(you can kickstart the fermentation by leaving it at room temp for a couple days)
Should be ready to eat in a few weeks.

I have a gallon jar in my basement fridge that’s about two years old.
Yes, it’s still good (but I eat 1,000X more kimchi than kraut).

Correction!
That should be 5 pounds of cabbage, shredded.

Add caraway seeds (for Bavarian style) if desired.

In all my years I can’t think of a single dietary fad that didn’t turn out to be either worthless or harmful.

I’ve been eating kimchi for over 40 years, as a result of serving in Korea. Just flat-out love that stuff!!

“2 spoons of sauerkraut and minced garlic 3 times a day for 3 days and my lungs cleared up completely. “

Thanks, very good information, and very easy. Will try next time I need an antibiotic, which is rarely.

Mmmmmmmmmm, Kapusta!

[Yaelle]

Mmmmmm.

Cabbage is one of the healthiest and cheapest foods. Buy organic for less neurotoxins tho. Still dirt cheap.

[Rio]

Nice one. According to that I used WAY too much salt. I’ll try again.

[dfwgator]

LOL. The first rule of Polish Cooking....You can never use too much salt.

My favorite ban chans.

I have four gallons of these pickled Korean peppers in the fridge.
I eat the prepared peppers for snacks. Planting more of these peppers in the next couple weeks.

I thought they wanted to reduce methane emissions.

I never liked sauerkraut. I didn't like kimchi.

I like my cabbage in egg rolls or Russian cabbage soup.

Thanks,
The only sauerkraut ive ever had has been served at a sandwich deli.
Probably wouldn’t know the imatation from the authentic.
It’s not a regularly served item from where I was raised.
