Previously, garlic, ginger, and leeks were chopped. In addition, paprika
and sugar were weighed. The Chinese cabbage was then cut into
3×3cm pieces and soaked in 15% (w/v) brine for 30min, after which
it was washed twice with fresh water and then drained for 30min.
The prepared ingredients were then mixed well and then distributed
evenly on the Chinese cabbage. Finally, the kimchi mixture was put
into a polythene bag (iUL) and closed under vacuum and allowed to
ferment at 7°C and 20°C for 10 and 5days, respectively, in a climate
chamber.
