Traditional kimchi includes dried shrimp or fish sauce, making this amazing Korean super-food a no-go for vegetarians and vegans. This recipe substitutes seaweed for the fish, giving a great flavour and adding the additional nutrition that seaweed offers.

Cut the napa cabbage into pieces about 1 inch wide. Slice rest of veggies.
Fill the jar, packing carefully as you go to remove any air pockets. Leave some space at the top of the jar (about 2.5cm/1 inch).
Place a weight (pebble) over the vegetables. Let them ferment at room temperature for 5 days. Start tasting after 3 to 4 days. Store in the fridge to stop fermentation.
