Mul Kimchi (Water Kimchi or Summer White Kimchi)

Submitted by SpiceBunny

"Kimchi is typically red, high in sodium, and very strong tasting. Some people find it too strong and salty. White kimchi is very nice. It has less salt, and is refreshing in the summer time, whilst packing the garlic and tangy taste."

I really like this recipe. I made it with regular napa cabbage since I didn't have any radishes. This is more of a lighter flavor than regular kimchi and I felt it was more healthier for me as well. Serves 4 but I ate it all at one sitting. Added more peppers and garlic as well since I love them!
