  2. Make the kimchi paste by blending the garlic, ginger, fish sauce, chilli paste, sugar and rice vinegar together in a small bowl.
  3. Rinse the salted cabbage under cold running water, drain, squeeze and dry thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the paste.add the radishes, carrot and spring onions.
