I enjoy eating it and have not as yet tried to make it and would appreciate any recipes and suggestions so I can try it at home. >> If you frequent the Asian markets, you will find a little packet called NOH of Hawaii, Korean Kim Chee, all you do is add water and the rock salt and cabbage, very simple, quite hot, but you can adjust. My friend who is Cambodian, introduced me to this packet stuff, she makes it all the time and tastes very genuine, and costs less than buying ready made. Alda West Coast chile head
