Easy and nutritious, kimchi is packed with antioxidants and gut-loving bacteria. Eat it as is or use it to top off a grain bowl, flavor a braise, or make fritters or a stew!

Method

  1. Wash, rinse and set aside the two outer leaves to top your mason jars for later. Cut the rest of the cabbage into large, finger-size pieces. Put into a large bowl with the sea salt. Add filtered water, making sure cabbage is completely submerged in water. Use a plate or weight if needed and soak overnight (or for at least 6 hours).

  2. Drain the cabbage, but save a few cups of the water to use as brine. Put the drained cabbage, carrots, and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

  3. To make the kimchi paste,  add the remaining ingredients into a blender or food processor except for the leftover brine. Mix until you form a beautiful red paste.

  4. Massage the paste into the cabbage mix until well distributed. (I suggest using rubber gloves or tongs for mixing.)

  5. Pack the cabbage mixture tightly into two large mason jars or a crock pot, leaving 1-2 inches room at the top for juices to release. Add a little of the reserved brine to just cover the vegetables, pressing them down a bit so they are submerged. Place the whole cabbage leaf on top and press down – this should help keep the kimchi submerged in the brine. You can also use a fermentation weight over top of the whole leaf to keep it submerged. A small ziplock bag filled with water also does the job if you don’t have weights.

  6. Cover the jars loosely with a lid (to allow air to escape) and ferment the kimchi  for 3-4 days. Place the jar in a baking dish or large bowl to collect any juices that may escape. (The idea though is to keep as much of the flavorful juice in the jar, so don’t overfill.) Leave the jars  somewhere dark and cool for three days (55℉ - 65℉ is ideal). Taste daily to see if it's the desired flavour. Once it reaches your desired tang seal the jars and pop into the fridge. It will continue to ferment slowly even in the fridge and will be good for up to six months.

Extra Notes

Napa cabbage is also known as wombok or Asian cabbage.

Happy Hormones

In 2020 I started loosing a lot of hair from my crown. It was so distressing to see almost half of my thickness disappear in the last 2years. Then I started taking happy hormones at the beginning of this year and my crown has grown hair as have the sides of my temples which were empty. To say I am happy is an understatement I am forever grateful to have come across this incredible product. View the pictures now and before shots. Thankyou Happy Hormones your product is exceptional!

Thank Goodness I Found You!

I’ve been having hot flushes for about 4 years or so but am still only peri menopausal. My flushes have pretty much stopped, I probably chose the wrong time of year to start taking these wonder capsules as now I’m feeling the cold here in Melbourne…this time last year I was still walking around in t-shirts and Havi’s! Another amazing benefit is that I was still taking the contraceptive pill to regulate and to prevent severe cramping not only during my cycle but also during ovulation. I decided to stop taking the pill to see if my cycle had stopped naturally as I turned 50 in January, it hasn’t, so the ovulation pain that came 2 weeks later was excruciating and I was effectively bed ridden for 5 days! I was DREADING my period! Whilst ovulating I had starting taking Happy Hormones and lo and behold, when the period arrived, NO PAIN!! I had told my Dr that I had planned on restarting the pill….no longer necessary! I’m so extremely grateful to have found HH and that I took the chance to try something natural…it’s been a complete game changer for me!

Keep Calm and Carry On

Have been taking HH for about 5 years now and they truly work. The formula of HH is the best I have ever come across. I feel calmer taking them and they keep the hot flushes to either nothing or very mild. I take two capsules twice daily which seems to be the best maintenance dose. Go on try them, HH really work.

Amazing

I have been taking HH for over a year and each time i think I can go without them I notice such a decrease in energy and mood. They have made a significant difference to my life and mood. I am a shift worker and I highly recommend for any women peri menopausal and low energy levels.

I wish I'd tried HH sooner.

100 Happy Hormone tablets later and WHAT a difference. I cant imagine not taking this little supplement of sanity every day. If you are tossing up needs v's wants .... HH are a need, do this for yourself. I wish I had've ordered sooner.

Happy Hormones is my life saver

I started going through peri menopause and am having a period every 3-5 months. My biggest symptom beside insomnia is hot flushes. I was having one every 10 minutes and I became a very horrible person as I just couldn't stand them. Enter Happy Hormones, I was having 2 morning and night and it wasn't doing anything and then someone on the FB page suggested 3 morning and night and for that I am forever grateful as now I am not grumpy all the time and the hot flushes are like maybe 5 a day now. I am sure my husband and kids thanks you more :)

Mother's Little Helper

My great friend Lori Woodhouse recommended I take Happy Hormones almost four years ago. It is the only supplement I have really noticed a significant improvement in my well being. I haven't gone without it since! I went from struggling to cope with being a working mum to enjoying parenting, and being able to balance life. I returned to uni whilst still working, finished my degree, and accepted a new job which is interesting, family friendly and challenging. I don't believe I could have managed all that in the past 4 years without my daily dose of Happy Hormones, and of course the support of my wonderful friend Lori Woodhouse. Lori also landed her dream job in that time, which combines her skills as a Registered Nurse with a passion for health at Happy Healthy You! This is us at my 50th Birthday Lunch just four weeks ago!
