  1. Mix all ingredients together in a non-reactive container, such as a large plastic cupcake keeper or large glass jar. The mixture will be very dry initially, but resist the urge to add water.

Notes on Kimchi

LIGHTER KIMCHI / Serve immediately. It will not have time to ferment but will still have complex flavors.
“MEDIUM” FUNK KIMCHI / Sit container out, uncovered for 24 hours. Cover, refrigerate until cool, then serve immediately.
BRING THE CLASSIC “SUPER FUNK” / Sit container out, uncovered for 24 hours. Cover, allowing room at the top of the container as the kimchi is alive at this point, and refrigerate for at least a week.
