Quick Spicy Kimchee Low Carb Tyler Style

I have to say, this is one good & easy Kimchee! I was first introduced to Kimchee at a Chinese restaurant (even though Kimchee is a Korean dish) and have always wanted to make it at home..but, most of the recipes weren't this easy..also you were supposed to let it sit out for days..I just didn't like the sound of that:) I couldn't find chile paste so I subbed garlic chile sauce.. Anyway, this is spicy, a little crunchy and totally delicious! Great on it's own, but I was thinking of making Fried Rice w/ Kimchee...yum:)
Thanks Tina for this wonderful recipe!!

Marie, that looks soooooo yummy. I'm loving the sound of the flavours and I love the ingredient list. Did you use splenda? Due to my overall aversion to most vegetables I would cut my cabbage up quite finely, would that work okay do you think? Did you use the Thai bird chilies? Or is that a bigger chili pepper? (I'm a newbie to chilis and hot peppers)
Lovely photo. Bookmarked to try.

I have never had Kimchee and (believe it or not) I haven't heard of it. What does one do with it? Do you put it on other stuff or eat it plain? I don't think I've ever seen it at any Chinese restaurants here.

Janet, yes, I used splenda..as you can tell, my cabbage wasn't exactly chopped to specs:) I'm more of a rough chop kinda gal:D I used one of the dried chiles some friends gave us that I have in the freezer..I don't think their Thai, but they were red!!! And spicy! I think it would work well if you use finely chopped cabbage...Hope you get a chance to try this:)

FA, when it was served in the restaurant, it was before our meal, sort of an appetizer..I believe it is supposed to be a side dish though...You can add or incorperate whatever you desire..I'm thinking it would be good with scrambled eggs, as a hot dog topping, or with fried rice..etc!!! It's like a spicy condiment.

I have wanted to make kimchee forever, but haven't done it. This sounds easy enough too, and looks so yummy!

It is one of the easiest Kimchee recipes I have found Michelle! Hope you get a chance to try it..the reason behind my making it is we received a bunch of fresh picked vegetables from one of my husband's customers, and included was a large napa cabbage..I didn't know what to do with it and thought if I could find an easy recipe for Kimchee, I'd use it for that!

Sounds like its a spicy sauerkraut. :)

Yeah, your right, that's what it's like, only bigger pieces of cabbage! It also has a little sour thing going on as well:)

So glad I finally got around to making this one! I had asked Marie what she made with hers and she said they just ate all of theirs right out of the jar! Well after making this I agree that's the way to eat it lol! It's so good and I thought it would knock be back with spice but it was perfectly spicy. Also tangy, a little sweet, and just delicious! I added some bok choy to mine...which was a perfect addition. I made Kimchi Bokkeumbab Korean Fried Rice using some of this and it went great...but I do admit I like eating it straight up better...it loses a little bit of it's flavor and crunch in the cooking process. Thanks Tina, for sharing this one with us :)

Oops forgot to say I did not have a quart jar so I used 2 smaller sized jars. Also I forgot to add chili paste to my grocery list so I didn't even look to see if my store had it! Oh well, I only had about a tbs. of chili garlic paste left and used the other tbs. with sriracha.
