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