Korean kimchi

Korean kimchi
Although I don't eat spicy food very much, I like kimchi very much. Every time I go to eat Korean food, I make all the complimentary side dishes. The kimchi I bought outside was a little expensive, so I thought why not make it myself. Last week, I searched a recipe online and pickled two Chinese cabbages. It was really good.
