This vegan kimchi recipe is my take on the traditional napa cabbage kimchi. It's no expert recipe but it's really easy; I think anyone can make kimchi this way! It's adapted mainly from Maangchi's recipe but tailored to what I could easily find in stores and made vegan with my fish sauce substitute.
