Fresh Kimchi, Gutjuri

Making traditional kimchi is extremely time-consuming so when I’m in a pinch, I make this fresh version and it’s delicious!

1 head of napa cabbage
2 tablespoons of korean red chili pepper flakes (you can add more for a more intense spice)
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
toasted sesame seeds
3 stalks of scallion
1 small carrot

1. Combine sauce ingredients until well combined and set aside.
2. Cut napa cabbage into long strips, cut scallions on a slant into 1-2 inches long, cut carrots into matchsticks
3. Combine all ingredients into large bowl and toss.
4. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds

Korean cooking is very much to taste so if you like things spicier, add more red pepper flakes. If you like things a bit tangier, add more white vinegar. You get the idea. Hope you enjoy this different take on kimchi!
