Super Easy Vegan Kimchi (ready in 30 minutes)
Several years ago we ate kimchi for the first time. Years passed by since we tried it for the first time at home. We guess not so many of you already made kimchi by yourself, right? But when we tried the Korean chili paste “Gochujang“ in May for our Korean Tacos with kimchi and Gochujang tofu we also spend some time for a little kimchi research.
So we decided to show you a quick recipe for vegan kimchi. There are thousands of kimchi recipes on the Internet. We are working on a more “traditional“ recipe for the future, but for now, this recipe is a bomb! In only 30 minutes the kimchi is done, and you get all the ingredients in the supermarket. If there is no time left to make your own vegan fish sauce, check your supermarket thoroughly, cause you can buy it too.
Vegan Fish Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 nori sheets
- 750 ml (3 cups) water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 50 ml (0.25 cups) soy sauce
