I have some daikon on hand and will grow a lot more, I hope, in my garden this summer. I plan to use a lot of it for making kimchee. Do you have suggestions, tips, thoughts on daikon as well as other vegetables for making kimchee? If I am correct, kimchee is usually made from Napa cabbage.
Unfortunately, the best kimchee thread has dropped off Harvest, though I can append additional recipes from old threads if you want them, or you can move this request to Harvest and members will re-post. There's been lots of discussion of kimchee on Harvest in the past.
Here's a lacto-fermented recipe from "Nourishing Traditions" by Sally Fallon with Mary G. Enig, Ph.D.
-Grainlady
Korean (Kimchi) Sauerkraut Makes 2 quarts
1 head Napa cabbage, cored and shredded 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 c. carrots, grated 1/2 c. daikon radish, grated (optional) 1 T. freshly grated ginger 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1/2 t. dried chile flakes 1 T. sea salt 4 T. whey (note: I get whey from my homemade kefir or from drained yogurt -the clear liquid left in the bowl- when making yogurt cheese) If you don't use whey, use an additional 1 T. salt
Place vegetables, ginger, red chile flakes, sea salt and whey in a bowl and pound with a wooden pounder or meat hammer to release juices. Place in a quart-sized, wide-mouth mason jar and press down firmly with a pounder or meat hammer until juices come to the top of the cabbage. The top of the vegetables should be at least 1-inch below the top of the jar. Cover lightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage.
Another recipe you may find interesting from the same book:
PICKLED DAIKON RADISH Makes 1 quart
3 pounds daikon radish, peeled and grated 1 T. sea salt 4 T. whey (if not available, use an additional 1 T. salt)
Place all ingredients in a bowl, mix well and pound with a wooden pounder or meat hammer to release juices. Place radish mixture in a quart-sized, wide-mouthed mason jar and press down lightly with a wooden pounder or a meat hammer until juices come to the top of the radish mixture. The top of the radish mixture should be at least 1-inch below the top of the jar. Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage. -----------------
Also from Nourishing Traditions:
The daikon radish is greatly prized as a digestive aid in the Orient where it is eaten in a great variety of ways -- fresh or preserved, dried, salted and added to soup or meat dishes. Fermented daikon radish, or takuan, is commonly served with macrobiotic food. Tests have shown it to be especially high in lactobacilli. It is also valued as a diuretic, as a decongestant and as a source of substances that inhibit cancer. Folk wisdom claims the daikon rids the body of accumulted fats. The root is an excellent source of vitamin C.
Hmm, I've never heard of putting whey in kimchee. Interesting.
Kak Du Ki Radish Kimchi (Fresh style)
3 pounds peeled, cubed daikon (about 3/4 inch cubes) 3 T salt 3 T sectioned green onions 1/2 C Korean red pepper powder* 1 1/2 t sugar 1 1/ T fish sauce 1 T minced garlic 1 T minced ginger
Mix the daikon with the other ingredients in a jar with a lid. Put the jar in a bowl (in case of spillage) and leave on the counter for a day, then refrigerate...it will keep up to a month, but gradually grow less crunchy.
* A course pepper flake...if you don't have a source for Korean red pepper, most recipes say to mix cayenne with paprika, but do try to get the real thing, it does make a difference.
If you want a more fermented type radish kimchee, that will keep longer but not be as crispy, just substitute daikon for the cabbage in any kimchee recipe.
Basic Kimchee:
2 pounds Chinese cabbage (or Daikon...or a combo of both) 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks salt 6 scallions, chopped. 4 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped (don't use your garlic press..use a knife, it does make a difference) 2 T finely chopped fresh, peeled ginger 1 T Korean chili powder (I like to add more) 1 t sugar 2 t to 2 T fish sauce, to taste.
Cut the cabbage in 2 inch pieces (or the Daikon into cubes or half rounds, whichever you prefer) Pour 6 1/4 c water into a large bowl and dissolve 3 T salt in it. Weigh the cabbage (or daikon) and carrot down with a weighted plate to deep the vegetables submerged, cover the bowl and leave it for 12 hours, stirring the vegetables occasionally.
Remove the cabbage from the bowl reserving the salted water.
Mix the vegetables with the remaining ingredients and 1 t salt. Pack into clean jars. Add enough of the salted water to cover the cabbage, but leave about 1 inch of head space. Cover the jars loosely, and place in a bowl or glass baking dish in case of spillage as the vegetables ferment. Leave the jars at room temp for 3 to 6 days, depending on how sour you like your kimchee. Cover tightly and keep in a cold, dark place for up to 1 year. I use the refrigerator myself, being that I haven't any place else that stays cold enough year round.
I've never tried this recipe but it's from a Japanese lady that I worked with years ago.
Kim Chee 2 Nappa cabbages 4 green onions Daikon 3 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp ajinomoto (MSG) may be left out 1 1/2 tsp sugar 4 tsp red pepper (cayenne) Slice nappa into 2" strips, daikon into 2 x 1" strips and green onions in long tin strips. Place napa in container with salt and press 1 hour. Turn over and press 1 hour longer. Rinse and squeeze out liquid. Use additional remaining dry ingredients; place in jars, store in shaded place for 1 day, then in refrigerator for permanent storage. Ready to eat.
I haven't been on either forum much lately. DH is on the injured list and it's been nothing but doctor appointments and hospitals. (He wants a "do-over" for the new year, LOL.)
I don't know if you saw the '05 thread on Kimchi but Earl pasted in a large group of recipes he'd gathered. Since that thread's now dropped off, I'll paste those in here for anyone who might be interested:

I love Kimchi, and here's a few of the recipes I've collected. :-) Cabbage Kimchi 2 whole Chinese cabbages, 1 Chinese radish (daicon), 7 green onions, 2 oz of Minari* (drop worth), 10 cloves of garlic, 1 oz of ginger, ݽ cup of shrimp sauce* (Sae wu jut) or fish sauce (Kanari jut) , ݽ cup of ground red pepper, 1 cup of large crystallized salt (sea salt or rock salt), 1 Tbs of regular salt, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 red chilly pepper, roasted sesame seeds, 1 cup of water *Minari is drop worth, or Japanese parsley, but if you cannot get it, use other kind of parsley. (Be creative!) *Sae wu jut is shrimp sauce, but you can use other fish sauce.
Directions: From the base of cabbage make deep cross mark with knife, and use hand to separate into 4 pieces. In about 140 oz (4 liter) of water, pour three cups of big crystallized salt and mix well. Put cabbages in that water and leave them for about 3 to 4 hours. Take them out, wash them with water and drain water. Meanwhile, in a big container, mix ground red pepper with 1 cup of water. Put shredded radish, and mix well until radish become reddish. Cut minari and green onion into 2 inch length pieces. Chop garlic, chilly pepper and ginger well. Put minari, green onion, garlic, ginger, chilly pepper and roasted sesame seeds into the mixture and mix well. Add shrimp sauce (Sae wu jut) or fish sauce(kanari jut), 1 Tbs of salt, and 1 tsp of sugar. Put the mixture from 2. in between every cabbage leaves. DonҒt miss any leaf without putting the mixture. Use the outer leaf to warp the ܼ cabbage to keep inner mixture. Fill another container with all the seasoned cabbage. Press cabbage well into the container, and cover it with a lid. Leave it room temperature for about 5 hours (when it is about 70 F (20 C))to 24 hours (When it is about 50 F (10C)). You can store Kimchi for up to 5 months in a refrigerator. If your Kimchi is too fermented, use them for other Kimchi dishes.\

How to make Cucumber (Oi) Kimchee? (January 27, 2002)
Hi. I'd like to try making Kimchee for the first time. Oi Kimchee seems like an easy good start. Could you post a recipe? Thanks. - (anonymous)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophie Kim responded:
The dish that you are wanting to make, cucumber kimchi, is a wonderful blend of taste and aroma. As long as you find yourself some hard cucumbers and great ground red pepper, you'll be able to make a tasty dish, no matter how much of a beginner you are (Korean ground red pepper works the best for this recipe).
Basic Ingredients: Cucumbers - 1 kg (appx 7~8) Salt - 3~4 Tbs Ground red pepper - 2 Tbs Finely ground garlic and garlic - 1 tsp White radish (chopped into small, thin strands) - 100g Leeks (chopped into small, thin strands) - 50g Anchovy sauce (made for the use of making kimchi) - 30g Pinch of salt, for later Sugar 1 tsp
Preparations:
1. Pick out fresh, hard cucumbers. Cut them into pieces 4.5 cm long, then cut those pieces into four, even parts. (Once you're done cutting, take the knife and without going all the way through the cucumber pieces, only about 3/4 of the way through, make a cross-like incision to the cucumbers- from one side to another.) 2. Sprinkle salt over the cucumber pieces evenly and leave it for about 30 minutes. Drain the mixture of salted cucumbers of all water and moisture. 3. Take the shredded radish along with the garlic and ginger, and the shredded leeks, ground red pepper, sugar, and anchovy sauce and mix it together. Leave it for about 10 minutes. Then take this mixture and stuff it into the cross-incisions made earlier on the cucumbers. Otherwise just take the mixture and mix it well with the cucumbers if you don't want to stuff. 4. Place it in a jar or tupperware. As time goes by the taste of the kimchi will change, which is normal. Some people enjoy fresh, just made kimchi, while others enjoy it when it has fermented for a while. Enjoy!
Cucumber Kim Chee 4 pounds Japanese cucumber 2 tablespoons salt 1 teaspoon fish sauce 1 teaspoon juice from salted baby shrimp (see note) 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon chili pepper powder or ground fresh chili pepper Quarter cucumber lengthwise and cut into 1-1/2 inch lengths. Mix with salt and let sit 30 minutes. Rinse and drain. Combine with remaining ingredients, mixing by hand (use plastic gloves). May be served immediately. Note: Salted baby shrimp is sold in bottles at Korean markets such as Palama Supermarket. To extract juice, squeeze a handful of shrimp.

One warning - don't buy Vietnamese or Thai or any other fish sauce. If you can't find Korean ingredients for the shrimp or fish sauces - better to do without, IMO.
What an outpouring of wonderful recipes and great advice! I really appreciate it. Although I eat kimchee at every opportunity, I've only made it a couple of times. I want to make kimchee from several different vegetables I will grow this summer.
Thanks!!!!
Carol, I'm sorry to hear of your husband's misfortune. My best wishes to him and you. I hope he's on his way to good health. We all need to be grateful for good health when we have it.
My first and only taste of Kimchee was in an upscale Korean restaurant a few months ago. I didn't notice much of an odor. One bite set my mouth on fire until I couldn't tell what taste it actually had.
