Method

  1. Remove the base of the green sea fingers and finely chop them until they form a soft paste.
  2. Mix in a large bowl the glutinous rice porridge, red chili powder, prepared green sea fingers, prepared soybean, soy sauce and Korean raspberry extract. Season the mixture using salt (about 1 Tbsp). Leave the paste to rest for about 2 hours.
  3. Mix three handfuls of salt into a large bowl of water and soak the cabbage.
  4. Cut the cabbages vertically in half and make small cuts in the roots. Mix three handfuls of salt into a large bowl of water and soak the cabbage for a minute or so.
  5. Spread a generous amount of salt in between the leaves (coarse sea salt works best); add even more to the stems. Leave for as long as possible to rest – from 3 to 12 hours.
  6. Remove any excess brine from the cabbages and spread the prepared seasoning paste between the leaves.
  7. Cover the cabbages using the outermost leaves and store them in containers to ferment.
