Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, shredded Napa cabbage, and julienned daikon radish.

  2. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, Korean red pepper flakes, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  3. Using clean hands, massage the mixture gently to help release the juices from the pineapple and vegetables. This will help kickstart the fermentation process.

  4. Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight glass jar, pressing down to remove any air pockets and ensure the ingredients are submerged in their juices. Leave some space at the top of the jar to allow for expansion during fermentation.

  5. Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place to ferment. Check the kimchi daily, pressing it down to keep it submerged under the brine. Taste it after a few days to monitor the fermentation process and adjust the seasoning if needed.

  6. Ferment the pineapple kimchi for 3-5 days, or until it reaches your desired level of tanginess. Once ready, transfer the jar to the refrigerator to slow down the fermentation process.

  7. Serve your homemade fermented pineapple kimchi as a flavorful side dish, topping, or ingredient in your favorite recipes.
