This is my second batch. I use regular American Cabbage....cheaper than Napa...what I do for the salt is sprinkle some on my cutting board and chop and roll it around. You can always add more. I don't like a lot of salt either. The beauty of this receipe is that you can make it your own. Today I'm trying it with some sliced carrot and a diced apple. I will use brown sugar instead of white sugar and I found a spicy sweet red pepper paste. Didn't feel like spending $7.00 on a spice I wasn't sure I would like. This is the easiest recipe I have found for kimchi. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
