STEP 1/10
Wash the kale clean first and drain.
STEP 2/10
Lay the drained kale on the bowl and stack it.
It's better to pile it up like a bunch to make it easier to put on the kimchi seasoning. If you leave it as messy as I do, it could be a bit of a hassle later on.
STEP 3/10
Boil 2 liters of water and 1 cup of salt in a pot.
STEP 4/10
Pour boiling salt water into the kale and marinate for about 30 minutes. The kale leaves are a little stiff, so you can eat it gently if you soak it like this. You can make it raw without pickling according to your personal preference.
STEP 5/10
Prepare the pickled kale by squeezing out the water. If you twist or squeeze too much, the kale can be crushed. Squeeze moderately carefully.
STEP 6/10
Add 3T of flour or glutinous rice flour to 2 cups of water, mix well, and simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes to fill with glue.
And it cools down.
STEP 7/10
Add seasoning to cooled flour paste and mix well.
3T of salt, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2/3 cup of ground garlic, 5T of fish sauce, 1T of ground ginger, 2 cups of red pepper powder
STEP 8/10
Place a bunch of pickled kale and season one at a time.
STEP 9/10
I'm getting a little tired of applying it one by one. LOL
STEP 10/10
You can eat it right away or a few days later. I put it in and took it out two days later, and it kind of aged like this. Just looking at it makes my appetite strong.
