Instructions
To Prepare the Cauliflower Kimchi
Wash and finely chop cauliflower leaves, place in the sterilised jar then add remaining ingredients. Store at room temperature for minimum 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks you should have a very fragrant, pungent/stinky, sour liquid that is pleasant to the taste. Strain the contents and keep the leaves for a stir fry or eat them the way they are
To Prepare the Finishing Broth
Heat the ingredients to around 60 degrees and keep this temperature constant for about 1 hour. It’s ok if it goes a little higher but be sure it doesn’t go lower as you won’t end up with such a flavourful stock.
After 1 hour, strain the stock and then it is ready.
