I must apologize. I didn't realize that I hadn't written anything before submitting my previous review on this recipe. This is a very good kim chee recipe. I added lots more fresh garlic, ginger and hot peppers. That's just our preference in enjoying it more spicy. I used Thai peppers from Vietnam. I also added mustard greens to the recipe, and I used rice vinegar istead of apple cider vinegar. I also used sugar instead of honey. Healthy choice wise, the honey would be better, but it was just more convenient at the time to use the sugar. This is a delicious recipe, and I'm very greatful to have found it! Of all the kim chee recipes, both at this site and others, this one was the most helpful in getting me started making my own kim chee. Thanks, DiB!
