Chili Pickled Cabbage - Kim Chee

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02

      Title: Chili Pickled Cabbage - Kim Chee
 Categories: Korean, Condiments, Hot
      Yield: 1 servings

      2 lb Chinese Cabbage
      1 tb Salt
      2 tb Chopped Green Onion
      2 ts Crushed Garlic
      1 tb Chili Powder
      2 ts Finely Chopped Fresh Ginger
    1/2 c  Light Soy Sauce
    1/2 c  White Vinegar
      2 ts Sugar Or More To Taste
           Sesame Oil

  Chop the cabbage coarsely and place in a glass dish.  Sprinkle with
  the salt and let stand for 3 to 4 hours; the cabbage will wilt.  Mash
  with the fingers until the cabbage is still softer, then drain off
  excess liquid and add the remaining ingredients except the sesame oil.

  Transfer to a large glass jar, seal and leave in a cool place for at
  least 24 hours before using.  It will keep for up to a week in the
  refrigerator. Sprinkle with a few drops of sesame oil before using.

I've heard that traditionally the mixture is buried in the backyard
and allowed to ferment for a few weeks.  Perhaps someone more
knowledgeable than myself can comment!
