  1. Okay, so this is the second of two cabbage dishes I made after reading an article about cabbage being good for you and for the planet at Sociecity: http://sociecity.com/rethink/mighty-cheeseburger-meets-lowly-cabbage<br/><br/>I NEVER liked kimchi much, but this one is a bit easier for a guy like me to handle. Thank you for posting Budgiegirl!
     
  2. I love this interpretation of Kimchi! It's light and refreshing. I find the cups to weight ratio to be off for the cabbage amount. For me 16 cups was about 5 pounds (or my grocery receipt is wrong!). I suggest adding carrots or daikon radish to squeeze in some more veggies- I'm going to try raddichio or red cabbage too next time.
     
  3. This was really easy to make and the flavours are developing nicely with each day. I'd chop the green onion more finely next time though, just personal preference, because wow I've had epic onion breath after eating this, lol not that I'm complaining though ;) Thanks!
     
  4. Thank you,thank you for this recipe! This is the food that I miss the most and I cannot get it here! I can't cook korean dishes as I can't find the chili paste but now at least I can make kimchi rice! I made it with regular cabbage, softer one, and it worked just fine.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I have always enjoyed cooking and looking for recipes. I have to admit though, until I joined Weight Watchers four years ago I never did much cooking. Since then it has became vital to do my own cooking and I find I am really good at it. I really enjoy trying new ingredients like Quinoa, Millet, Porktenderloin, hoisin sauce, beans, Textured Vegetable Protein among many other new ingredients. My family has started thinking I am a little weird with all the unusual ingredients I have in my pantry. My passions are my 3 nephews, Matthew, Lucas and Charles and my 8 parrots, Guy, Pete, Toby, Daisy, Zeke, Ernie, Max and Lu. They keep me positive when life takes a nose dive.
