sya: You can use normal chili powder but you would need to reduce the amount so that it is not too spicy. If you want your kimchi to have a redder color, you can use halve the korean chili powder portions to local chili powder and sweet paprika powder. Korean chili powder is much milder than the local Chili powder sold in Malaysia.

They say kimchi is equivalent to a mother's love cos of constant stroking of the leaves with the paste. :D

Bryan: You can get Korean chili powder from the Korean food fair. But I think the one held in Gurney Plaza, Penang happened on the 9th to 13th of October 2008. So, my best bet would be to look into Cold Storage at Gurney Plaza for some Korean kimchi powder. They should have an Japanese/Korean section there.

Of course, am not saying we'll be able to do this in the very near future... but it's on the to-do list. =)

pink parisian: You're welcome! And it does seem like I have missed out some minor detail like storage. I would recommend storing kimchi in a large tupperware. I keep one and a half chinese cabbage in to a 11x8x3 inch, and it fits just fine. If you don't have such a big storage space, just get smaller chinese cabbages for this.

Kimchi can keep for a very, very, very long time after fermentation, if stored in the fridge. I'd go as far as say that it would last 6 months without it going bad and perhaps more. Let me know how your kimchi turn out and good luck :)

Thank you so much for this! I love Kimchi and I'm going to try this - how long can it keep after fermentation? I assume it then goes into the fridge. Also, are there any containers you would recommend to keep them in? e.g. glass and how did you find any to fit the size of the whole cabbage!
