Serves Makes 800 g–1 kg

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 ginger thumb-sized piece, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 T brown sugar
2 T fish sauce
4 T sea salt
¼ cup water
3 T Korean red pepper flakes or gochugaru (available at most Asian grocery stores)
2 large pineapples, peeled and cut into 1 cm cubes
100 g gooseberries, halved
3 spring onions, diagonally sliced

Method

1. Place the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, fish sauce, salt and water in a bowl and stir into a smooth paste. Stir in the gochugaru.

2. Add the pineapple, gooseberries and spring onion and toss until the fruit is completely covered with the spice mix. Massage the fruit to allow the flavours to penetrate.

3. Pack the kimchi into four sterilised 400 g jars and press down so that the brine covers the top layer.

4. Seal the jars and leave to ferment on a shelf out of direct sunlight for 3–5 days. Check the kimchi daily, opening the lids once a day. Once fermented, refrigerate and enjoy within a month.
