Jean's kimchi recipe 1 head napa cabbage 1 small daikon radish 5 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 potato 6 to 7 garlic cloves 1-inch piece ginger 1/4 onion 1/4 Asian pear 1/4 cup fish sauce 1/4 cup salted shrimp 1/2 cup gochugaru aka Korean red pepper powder Salt and sugar Optional add-ins Salted, fermented shrimp is an essential ingredient in kimchi.
