Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Wash the 1 bunch green onions and trim the roots. Cut them into 2-inch lengths and place in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Dissolve the 2 tbsp salt in 1 cup water and pour over the green onions. Let sit for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse well.

  3. Step 3

    In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp gochugaru, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 tsp sugar to form a paste.

  4. Step 4

    Add the paste to the drained green onions and toss with your hands until every piece is coated. Wear gloves if you have them.

  5. Step 5

    Pack the kimchi into a jar, pressing down to remove air. Let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then refrigerate. It's ready to eat immediately or after a day for more flavor.
