What is kimchi?
Kimchi is an essential Korean condiment. To make, halve a Chinese cabbage and sprinkle salt between leaves. Set aside for 10 minutes. Immerse in salted water for 6 hours, turning occasionally. Rinse twice and drain for 2-3 hours. Thickly slice and toss with chilli flakes, chopped green onions, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds to taste.
