Linda's Flaming KimchiOh great news Rob!!! I haven't gotten time to try it myself! (time or habaneros, that is.) Now I am itching to make it!! I can find Scotch bonnets if I look around, so that will do. Thanks for the report.

I made some on Saturday, left it in the fridge for 3 days, and ate generous servings yesterday and today. It looks beautiful in a clear glass jar! And the liquid -- ahh, that is a nectar fit for the "gods" of Planet X Nibiru! Salute, Hermes! I followed your procedure exactly, although I used 6 of everything: habs, garlic and scallions. I probably used a bit more ginger than you indicated, and for color I added a full teaspoon of cayenne, plus a bit of freshly ground black pepper, which I like. Delicious! And it isn't all that terribly hot. It is "just right"! You could say that it makes "six servings" since I have enough to last till the weekend. I could have eaten it all at once, you know? HAHA! Now I am planning to prepare a slightly different version, using a purplish cabbage and adding some carrots and red onion, instead of scallions. And I might add a little bit more salt to the final liquid; I used 2 T. for the soaking and exactly 1 for the second stage. It should be very colorful, and I'll send along the recipe when it is done. Last month I was at the Binh Minh Oriental Market in Dallas and bought two jars of Korean kimchi, one made in Taiwan and the other in Vietnam. The Taiwan kimchi contained only cabbage and seasonings and was not very hot. The Vietnamese kimchi was "sweet and sour" which I normally do not like, but this was not too much. It was ultra-hot, even hotter than your habanero kimchi; and besides cabbage it had mustard greens, leeks, carrots and baby corn. Very nice, and it is what inspired me to experiment with your basic recipe, which I have appended for the reference of others. Once again, happy new year to all!
