Red pepper powder 4.5 Basically the old Kimchi must be made saltier than the Minced garlic 2.5 common Kimchi. Minced ginger 0.7 Leek (cut) 2.0 You must use cabbages for Kimchi when preparing old Kimchi. If you use summer cabbages, you will not be able to taste the old Kimchi because the cabbages are too soft. If you put too much ingredients, it can block the growth of lactobacillus to block the fermenting process. Salted anchovies 5.0 Salted shrimps 4.0 Additional salt 0.6 * Saltiness of salted seafood: 25% (usually the level sold) How to make old Kimchi 1) Soaking cabbages in salted water (saltiness 2.0 - 2.2%) - Same as common Kimchi Cut the cabbages in half. Make an 8% salt water of an amount of 2 times the weight of the cabbages. Soak the half-cut cabbages in the salt water for 12-15 hours, and sprinkle some salt on the cabbages. (At this time, sprinkle more salt to the cabbages than the common Kimchi.) 2) Making Kimchi Wash the soaked cabbages once and drain the water for 1 hour. Prepare all the other ingredients 10 minutes ahead. (process of fermenting the spices.) Apply the ingredients to the leaves of the cabbages by spreading them. Put the Kimchi in the drawer left compartment Kimchi container. At this time make the cut side of the cabbages face up so that the spices do not flow out. (It is better to not have extra spaces. So press the cabbages while storing them.) Cover the surface of the Kimchi with outer leaves of the cabbages or a clean vinyl wrap. 3) Fermenting old Kimchi (seasoning) Put the Kimchi container in the drawer left compartment and select old Kimchi fermenting. When the Kimchi fermenting is complete, "Remaining time 0 hours" is shown and automatically switched to storing. If you think that the old Kimchi is not seasoned well enough, run the old Kimchi fermenting one more time. 28
