- 1). Separate and wash the cabbage leaves. Sprinkle 2 tablespoon of sea salt evenly on each cabbage leaf and place them in a large bowel. Pour the cold water and refrigerate over night.
- 2). Pour out the water and rinse each cabbage leaf. Set the cabbage aside in a large bowel.
- 3). Mince the garlic and ginger finely. Thinly slice the scallions. Add the dried red pepper, sugar, garlic, ginger, scallion and remaining 1 tablespoon of sea salt into a large bowl.
- 4). Pour the mixture over the cabbage and rub the seasoning evenly into each cabbage leaves by hand.
- 5). Transfer the seasoned cabbage into a large glass jar. Press firmly and stack each cabbage leaf evenly. The less space there is in between each leaf, the more evenly the kimchi will ferment. Make sure to leave at least two inches of room at the top.
- 6). Add the remaining liquid from the seasoned mixture into the jar. Close the jar tightly with the lid.
- 7). Store the glass jar in a cool, dry, dark area at a room temperature no higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit for 2 days.
