Comment préparer Mr N's Kimchee Base

In a large bowl, combine the salt and water. Add the Napa cabbage and cucumbers; gently massage to ensure even salt distribution. Let stand for 2 hours.
Rinse the cabbage and cucumbers thoroughly to remove excess salt. Squeeze out as much water as possible.
In a separate bowl, combine the gochugaru, gochujang, garlic, ginger, salted shrimp, anchovies, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
Add the drained cabbage and cucumbers to the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Pack the kimchee into a clean glass jar, pressing down firmly to remove air pockets. Leave about an inch of space at the top.
Cover the jar and let it ferment at room temperature for 2-3 days, checking for desired sourness (taste test!). Refrigerate to slow down fermentation.
Enjoy your homemade kimchee! The flavor will continue to develop over time in the refrigerator.
