Dissolve 1 1/2 tablespoons of sea salt in 1 cup of water. Sprinkle over bok choy then press down to completely submerge bok choy.
- Step 4
Let stand for 10 minutes. Then mix bok choy thoroughly frΩ and let stand for another 10 minutes. (You do not have to place a weight on top but you can if you want.)
- Step 5
Rinse bok choy 2 to 3 times. Drain. Let stand in now empty rinsed bowl.
Everything else:
- Step 1
Chop washed scallion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, combine Mama O's Premium Vegan Kimchi Paste, vinegar, scallion, and sugar.
- Step 3
Pour this mixture over the bok choy, then rub it over the bok choy with your hands to get an even coating.
- Step 4
Add additional vinegar, sugar, and salt to your taste.
- Step 5
Serve immediately or after chilling.
