Recipe Note:
You can ferment this kimchi for additional gut health benefits by leaving it at room temperature for 24 hours. However, you can enjoy it right away to enjoy the crunchy texture of the green onions. You can always adjust the spiciness and other ingredients according to your preference. Add fewer chili flakes to start if you do not want spicy flavor and add more if you prefer to add extra heat.Nutrition
