For the Perfect Kim Chee at home - Fill a large container (pot, pan, etc.) with 1 gallon of water. Add 1 cup salt. Cut cabbage 1 1/2 inch by 2 inch in size. Place all of the cut cabbage into the container of water. Using a large, heavy dinner plate, keep the cabbage submerged under water for at least 8 hours. After this period, rinse the cabbage in tap water and drain in colander. Next, empty 1 package of NOH Korean Kim Chee Mix into the large container. Add 1/2 cup of water and mix well. Add the cabbage and mix thoroughly. After mixing, place cabbage in a quart-size container (ie. jar with a lid). Press the cabbage down firmly, allowing 1/4 space at the top. Close the lid and allow to stand for 1 day (unrefrigerated). This will develop the full flavor. Makes two (2) quarts of very spicy kim chee. Refrigerate.
