"Instant Kimchi", Kimchi Sauce Recipe

 Hi everyone! 

This is Molly. :) It's been a long time since I've posted.... I have several posts "in the works". It's just taking a long time to get them done! 😅

But I wanted to share a neat recipe I came up with, that is super easy!

Have you ever had kimchi? It's like a spicy, slightly sweet, Korean version of sauerkraut. I really, really like it! 😃 But it can get expensive if you buy it very often, and it can feel a bit overwhelming to try to make at home.

Then I had the idea of making some kind of spicy sauce to put on homemade sauerkraut, to make it taste like kimchi.

After doing a little research, here is what I came up with. Tylor and I really enjoyed it the first time I made it, so I thought I'd document the process this time!

We ate it on sauerkraut, and also used it as a sauce for a lot of other dishes! It's really good on rice too. :)


Kimchi Sauce

*half a dried cayenne pepper

*roughly 2 Tbsp ginger root

*about 3 cloves garlic

*half an onion

*liquid aminos and/or soy sauce, around 1/2 c total

*2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 

*1 Tbsp sucanat (or other sweetener)

*optional: something "fishy", I used kelp powder, most real kimchi recipes call for oyster sauce, shrimp, or anchovies

*also optional, a small amount of sesame oil.

Blend well in blender, transfer to jar, and enjoy! :) this makes about 1 cup.



Ingredients needed.



Kikkoman soy sauce, about 1/3 c. 



Bragg's aminos, about 2 Tbsp.



Apple cider vinegar, about 2 Tbsp.



1 Tbsp sucanat.



Small amount of kelp powder.



About 1.5 Tbsp sesame oil.




½ an onion, ½ a dried cayenne pepper, 2-3 cloves garlic, and about 2 Tbsp ginger root.


Crush garlic and roughly chop others.


Blend. :)




Makes about 1 cup.


Delicious on some homemade sauerkraut, for "instant kimchi". Or use it as a sauce on whatever you like! 😁


Enjoy! 😊
Hope everyone has a blessed day/week! ❤️

Love, Molly
