This homemade Mustard Greens Kimchi (Gat-Kimchi) is tasty and very simple to make. This kimchi has minimal ingredients that you can easily find in the grocery store. It is delicious, nutritious, and packed with flavor.
Clean and sliced mustard leaves cross the spine and then perpendicular to make small squares or rectangles around 2″. Chop green onions in about 2"
Make a glutinous paste by combining glutinous rice flour and water or fish stock in a small saucepan and cook in a medium heat, stirring continiusly until it turned into thick paste. Remove from the heat to cool throughly.
Combine the red chili flakes, peeled apple, shrimp sauce, garlic, and glutinous paste in a food processor or blender and blend well for about 2 minutes or longer to create a red chili paste.
Then mix in mustard leaves and red chili paste until everything is well incorporated.
Transfer to a container or a glass jar. Press down on the kimchi so it’s well packed, then put the lid on the container. You can eat it right away or leave it on the countertop to ferment for a few days. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Note:
Add sliced carrots or daikon radish for extra crunch, flavor, and color. You can double the recipe for an extra batch. It will last for up to 6 months in the fridge but the taste will change to a bit sour because of the continously fermentation process.
