![[Homemade] Vegetarian Kimchi](https://i.imgur.com/gM9g8IC.jpg){kind=link}
It took me a while to gather all the ingredients but it turned out soo good. The container was empty in a week. Please don’t mind the slightly wonky picture.

Is it as spicy as it looks?
It has two components that bring the bright red color. One of them is Gochujang- a fermented chilli paste which is not at all spicy but has a strong umami flavour. The second one is gochugaru- red chilli flakes which are pretty spicy. If you’re trying to make Kimchi you can totally skip it.
If you get to try Kimchi at a restaurant it’s probably not too spicy and mellow.
The Korean resto I order from is extremely spicy… I love it though
