Easy Bok Choy Kimchi 

Hi everyone! I recently tried making kimchi with bok choy, and to my surprise—it was so delicious! It’s fresh, crunchy, and super easy to make. Even if you've never made kimchi before, this is a great place to start. If you're looking for a light and refreshing side dish, give this one a try!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds (900g) bok choy (8–9 large heads)
• 0.4 cup coarse sea salt (use a little less if using regular salt)
• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 2-3 green onions, chopped

Seasoning Sauce

• 3 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon salted shrimp (or use 1 more tablespoon of fish sauce)
• 4 tablespoons Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• ½ teaspoon minced ginger
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bok Choy

Trim the bottoms to separate the leaves. If the leaves are large, cut them in half.

Rinse the bok choy well—twice Place in a large bowl. 

Step 2: Salt the Bok Choy

Sprinkle 6 to 7 tablespoons of coarse sea salt between layers of bok choy in a large bowl. Let it sit for 1 hour, mixing once or twice during that time to help everything brine evenly.

After an hour, rinse it one more time and squeeze out excess water.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a bowl, put the brined bok choy and add ½ onion (thinly sliced) and chopped green onions. Now pour in the seasoning sauce made with: 3 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp salted shrimp (or 1 more tbsp fish sauce), 4 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp minced garlic, ½ tsp minced ginger, and 1 tbsp honey or sugar. Mix well until the bok choy is evenly coated.

Step 5: Store and Enjoy

Transfer to a container and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like. You can eat it right away, or leave it out for a few hours for a deeper taste. Store leftovers in the fridge. It tastes even better the next day!
