It's not complicated, you're just fermenting whatever you put in the jar.

The one recipe I saw required raw oysters. That’s complicated to me.

Sure! I'll get the ingredients and post this weekend. I have to make it to record it...

I've never heard of raw oysters being in there!

 

[Barriehie]

More like cabbage, onions, garlic, salted shrimp paste, salt, fish sauce, gochugaru, that's about it...

This'll have to be a springtime recipe. When I buy cabbage in the winter it doesn't ferment.

I bought a regular cabbage, thinking of doing sauerkraut soon.

 

[SoCalZone10]

This is a recipe I’m making, just marinated the pork butt and put in the fridge. I used even less salt than state here but i added black pepper because love black pepper. My daughter said the jar of kim chi I bought looks very good, a word of encouragement, I hope to find out tomorrow

When I buy cabbage in the winter it doesn't ferment.

That's an important factor, obviously. I'd probably not have that problem here, where average daily temperatures are 25C/ 77F.

I’m also making this dish today, I just harvested a Washington Navel, well it dropped to the ground or my container, I might as well use it. It’s a good chance to eat sesame seeds, they good for collagen, I just learned that this year.

And quick pickle with vinegar and sugar for sweetness, like a dish Chicken Mu for Korean. I paid 55c for a small daikon.

Now resting waiting to do a ginger, scallion sauce, good thing I did buy some organic ginger.

 

[SoCalZone10]

Finished the ginger sauce. I took out my pork butt, one side is very soft, so I put it back for another hour.
This it it, waiting for the pork butt to cook, I just need to blast it with sugar for 10 minutes then we eat.

 

[SoCalZone10]

I took out the pork butt and I applied brown sugar, knowing my oven is very slow to get to 500 F, I just set it for 450F, when it gets to that temperature all the sugar will be melted, this is an Asian version of City Ham by Alton Brown, except I have to cure the ham myself overnight.
