From Wiki.
Kimchi, is a traditional Korean banchan consisting of salted and fermented vegetables, most commonly using napa cabbage or Korean radish. A wide selection of seasonings are used, including gochugaru, spring onions, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal, etc.
My regular Chinese is attracting a growing number of Korean customers, this has led to the chefs trialing a Kimchi dim sum which I have eaten a couple of times. At first I thought the filling was a type of coarse sausage meat but have now discovered it was a pickle of various vegetables, soy, fish sauce and salted shrimps. Whatever they were absolutely delicious, not overly hot (chilli) but certainly nicely spiced, crunchy and really nothing not to like.
In Korea Kimchi is used as a side dish in a similar way to Harissa with Moroccan food.
Whatever, to buy Kimchi in this country is expensive £2.50/200gm pack, so having many of the ingrediants in my store I now plan to make my own, hence this post, just in case someone out in PP land makes it already and can share some tips.

One advantage of making your own is you can add extra daikon radish to give it more crunch and coip the cabbage up smaller to allow it mix easier, with say fried rice or noodles.
Sauerkraut you can can have my share anytime.
