My passion with Korean started with the Korean movies. For several years I watched unbreakably almost all Korean series and Korean channels from cable tv. Then, I commenced to try some Korean food, and have found several Korean restaurants in Jakarta that became my family's favorite to dine for the weekend. Later on, I have tried Korean's dishes at home, and believe it or not, my family and I love it so much.

1 oz (30 g) sugar
4 oz (115 g) scallions, cut into 1 ½ in (4 cm) strips
3 oz (85 g) carrots, thinly sliced and julienned

How to make:
1. Toss the onions with 2 oz salt. Set aside for 30 minutes.
2. To make the seasoning, combine the rice porridge, fish sauce, garlic, ginger,chili flakes and powder, 3 oz salt and sugar, and mix well into a red paste. Toss together the paste, onions, scallions, and carrot. At this stage, adjust the salt, sugar and chili to taste. If a more vivid flavor is wanted, add more seasoning. Put everything into a container and cover. Serve straight away as a fresh spiced salad. Refrigerate the balance to allow the kimchee to ferment slowly.
