I am venturing into a new area for me. I'm going to make some sauerkraut. St. Patrick's day is coming. Will be doing a Guiness corned beef and must have some cabbage to go with it, fermented cabbage.
And I miss eating kim chee. Grew up with it and have met a lady from South Korea to help me along with this recipe. I really need to know what hot pepper they use. We have an Asian market where I can find daikon and of course, napa cabbage.
Any hints or suggestion would be appreciated.

Sylvia, I've made small batches of sauerkraut and my hint is to add salt and knead/massage the cabbage till there's water. Add as much non-chlorine/spring water as needed to cover cabbage.

Sylvia, you need to kneed sauerkraut a minimum of 10 minutes and I have read use 1 - 2 Tbsp of salt, but I stay at 1 Tbsp otherwise it is to salty for my taste.

I use the sauerkraut recipe from the Kerr canning book. I use the made in jars recipe. It is really, really good.
