You already understand that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be balanced and nutritious and you need to get a good amount of exercise. However, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle involves. At the end of the day, almost everyone want to go home, not to the gym. People crave junk food, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy decisions doesn’t have to be a pain. If you are diligent you’ll get all of the activity and healthy food you need. Here are some tips to be as healthy as possible.

Water is the very best beverage out there. Soda and coffee, when ingested in moderation, aren’t that bad. It will be, however, a bad idea to solely drink soda or coffee. Drinking water instead of other types of drinks is a good way to aid your body in its health and hydration. This also helps you lower your caloric intake by hundreds of points without requiring you to buy and eat disgusting diet foods. Water is typically one of the keys to really slimming down and becoming really healthy.

There are all sorts of things that you can do to get healthy. Not all of them demand fancy gym memberships or restricted diets. It is the little things you choose day after day that really help you with weight loss and becoming healthy. Being intelligent when you choose your food and actions is where it begins. Getting as much exercise as possible is another factor. Remember: being healthful isn’t just about reducing your weight. It is more about making your body as sturdy as it can be.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to kimchi (easier than you think! ;) ) recipe. You can have kimchi (easier than you think! ;) ) using 11 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you do that.

The ingredients needed to make Kimchi (Easier than you think! ;) ):

1. You need 4-5 pounds Napa cabbage, cut into roughly 1"x 2" pieces (about 30 cups of chopped raw cabbage)
2. Provide 1 bunch green onions, washed, roots trimmed, and cut into 2 inch segments
3. Get 5 Tablespoons kosher salt (about 10% less if you're using regular table salt)
4. Provide For the paste:
5. Use 1/4 cup minced garlic (about 5 or 6 large cloves)
6. Get 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger root (about a 2" segment, peeled)
7. Use 1/4-1/2 cup crushed red chili flakes depending on how hot you want your kimchi. See notes above re: gochugaru
8. Prepare 1/4 cup steamed white rice, lightly packed. Short or long grain is fine. If stale, microwave with 2 Tbsp. water for 1 minute
9. You need 1/4 cup fish sauce
10. Get 1/4 cup sugar
11. You need 1/4 cup water for blending + 1/3 cup water for rinsing seasoning from bowl (see directions below)

Instructions to make Kimchi (Easier than you think! ;) ):

1. In a large stainless steel or mixing bowl, toss the raw cabbage, green onion, and the salt together to pre-brine the cabbage. Make sure to thoroughly incorporate the salt throughout the cabbage. In 10 to 15 minutes, you should start to see the cabbage leach liquid and wilt. Let the cabbage sit for 1.5 to 2 hours, tossing and redistributing every 30 minutes to ensure even brining.
2. After at least 90 minutes of pre-brining, rinse the cabbage with enough water to cover the cabbage by 4 or 5 inches by swishing the cabbage in the water 7 or 8 times. Remove the cabbage into a strainer and let the excess water drain while you prepare the paste.
3. Make the paste by putting all the paste ingredients into a blender and blend until you can't see the individual grains of rice. Pour the paste over the cabbage.
4. Get into the bowl with your hands and mix the paste into the cabbage until all the pieces are evenly and thoroughly coated.
5. Pack your kimchi into a clean, dry bottle or other tight-lidded container (this time I repurposed a half gallon kimchi jar) and use the last 1/3 cup of water to swish around the mixing bowl, pick up all the remaining paste, and pour that liquid on top of your kimchi. Remember to leave 2 to 3 inches of headspace at the top to allow for expansion as fermentation takes place.
6. Your batch of kimchi is now ready for fermentation in a dark but not cold place like the inside of your cupboard. Or, if you can find a warmish spot in your garage, you can put it there. (I know that's not always possible for cold climate people in the middle of winter.) As it ripens, it's a good idea keep the lid slightly unscrewed to relieve the pressurization caused by fermentation. (Your jar can literally explode from the pressure on a specially active fermentation day.)
7. People often ask HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE OR EAT IT? You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.
8. But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but very slowly.
9. Enjoy! :)
