I learnt this Kimchi Recipe from one waitress at Bashu Sichuan Restaurant (巴蜀人家川菜馆), Miss Ai-xin (爱心). She learnt it from her friend, a guy working in a Japanese restaurant. I tried her pickles at Bashu Restaurant, it tasted really good so I decided to make my own kimchi. After numerous inquires to Ai-xin, I finally made my first batch of Kimchi a couple weeks ago, then I share it with my colleagues and friends, quickly within 3 days, I made too much promises, all my Kimchi are sent out or had been promised to sent out, I myself, the maker has nothing to eat. Many individuals like my Kimchi so much that they want the Recipe of it, so when I was making my 2nd batch of Kimchi, I took the pictures for each stages:
1. Ingridients : two or three radish and one bok-choy (chinese long cabbage)
2. Cut the radish into smaller pieces or the bigger pieces, depends on your interests.
3. Salt the radish with coarse salt.
4. Salt the bok-choy leaves with salt too, put the weight one top of it to squeeze the internal water faster.
5. After salting the radish and leaves for 2-3 hours, then rinse them for 30min.
6. Prepare the spices for the sauce: ginger, scallion and garlic, chop them into pieces.
7. Put chopped spices with sauce together and mix them.
8. Dip the leaves and radish with the sauce and put them into the container.
Seal the container for 4 hours at normal temperature then store it into refrigerator. The sauces can be purchased at "Oriental Supermarket" (华盛超市) at Kennedy Road or McCowan Road.
