for luvnraw: kimchee recipe

[swingbolder]

Here's ya go

Kim Chee

Yields 1 quart

1 lb Chinese (celery or Nappa) cabbage

1 large carrot

1/4 lb white Oriental (Daikon) radishes

2 scallions, thinly sliced

1/4 cup nama shoyu (you can omit this and use celtic salt instead)

1/2 cup water

2 Tbs honey

3 Tbs cider vinegar

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic

2 to 4 hot red peppers, dried, 2 inches long, split

1. Slice the cabbage lengthwise into quarters. Remove the tough core and

then slice the quarters into 1 to 2 inch-long pieces.

2. Slice the carrot and radishes lengthwise and then into 2 inch-long

sections. Slice the sections into very thin strips.

3. Toss cabbage, carrot and radishes with the scallions, soy sauce and

water. Cover loosely and let stand overnight.

4. Drain liquid from the vegetables into a bowl. Add honey and vinegar to

the liquid and stir well until honey is dissolved.

5. Add ginger, garlic and peppers to the vegetables and pack them into

sterilized jars. Pour liquid into the jars. If more liquid is needed to

cover vegetables, add water.

6. Cover loosely with a lid and let sit at room temperature for 3 to 5 days

to ferment. The liquid will bubble and the flavor will become sour.

7. Refrigerate the Kim Chee for 3 to 4 days. The cabbage will become

translucent and will be ready to serve.

Thank you so much for the recipe! I will look forward to being done with the Master Cleanse (just started and am hungry looking at these recipes!) and trying this when I am back to eating the roughage after fasting!

Do you think that agave could be used in place of the honey?

Thanks again,
Christi ~ Luvnraw :p

Dang, yur an expert on that recipe Swing........ :p right down to wrapping it :D

btw Luvnraw, here is the dandelion tea you asked about


THat's whay I fogot LUvnraw....I was gonna send you the recipe but i'll post here....


I get my dandlion root from parent friend they are dried outside.

I just put couple tbsp in 32 oz of spring water and let it soak in frig overnite. I'm snesitive to root form of herbs so I put more water than suggested.

Nest day, I put it near the window facing the sun in the morning (east). Shake it every now and then and a few hours later, I add alittle ginger to a cup that way the ginger will "move" the dandelion....it's a TCM approach to utilizing the herbs---we use invigorating,warming roots and herbs to make other ones effective.
