Shadowing Practice: Stop buying KIMCHI, make this instead (+ save money!) - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Kimchi is the MVP of fermented foods and it's a staple in Korean cuisine.
2
I'm really obsessed with it and so today we're going to be making a very simple version with easy to find ingredients.
3
This is store-bought kimchi and this is my homemade kimchi.
4
So it's a lot more goodness for a fraction of the price.
5
Once you have a jar of this in the fridge, you're gonna want to have it with everything.
6
You can add it to fried rice, stir it into noodles, add it to salads, roll it in gimbap, pile it on hot dogs, tuck it into sandwiches.
7
It's so versatile and because it's fermented it's good for your gut too
8
But it's usually made with fish sauce shrimp face or other seafood based ingredients
9
So today we're gonna be making a fish free fully vegan
10
version at home with very easy to find ingredients All right, enough talking.
11
Let's dive in All right,
12
first up I've got a kilogram of Napa cabbage, quite possibly my favorite cabbage.
13
Now you could slice this in half lengthwise with a knife, but what I actually like to do instead is to just cut it at the base
14
and then tear it open the rest of the way.
15
And then you're going to see that it's going to retain this nice crinkly texture in the leaves.
16
Now once it's quartered, I then chop it up into roughly one inch chunks.
17
Now we can add this all to a large bowl and sprinkle over about 25 grams of iodine-free salt.
18
Now do not reduce the amount of salt.
19
It's really important and don't worry we're gonna wash it off later.
20
And I like to use coarse sea salt but fine sea salt and kosher salt work too.
21
Once the salt is in there just give it a toss
22
and a very gentle massage just for a couple of minutes
23
and this is going to help to soften the cabbage and draw out the moisture.
24
Then we're going to let it sit for a couple of hours just toss it once or twice in that time.
25
While the cabbage rests we're going to make the kimchi paste.
26
So just grab a food processor and chuck in half of a small onion, five cloves of garlic, and half of a sweet red apple.
27
The sugar in this is necessary to kickstart fermentation without adding any additional sugars.
28
Then toss in a chunk of fresh ginger, some vegetable broth, soy sauce, and miso paste.
29
These last three ingredients are what gives this the kind of salty, umami taste you would normally get from fish sauce.
30
And then the star ingredient is all that's left.
31
This is gochugaru.
32
Gochugaru is a Korean red pepper flake, which is fundamental to making kimchi.
33
It's a non-negotiable ingredient.
34
It's the only one you're potentially gonna need to source, and you can usually just find it in an Asian supermarket or get it online.
35
Once the gochugaru is added in, pop the lid onto the food processor and blend it up until it's smooth.
36
Next, let's prep the veggies.
37
For the veggie add-ins, I'm keeping it super simple with just two ingredients.
38
So a carrot, which I'm going to julienne, so just cutting it up into matchstick-like pieces, and then a few stalks of green onion, which I'll chop up into two-inch chunks.
39
I also like to actually cut it lengthwise, just so the onion flavor isn't so overpowering.
40
Traditionally, you'd also add Korean radish or daikon radish, but this is meant to be a simple recipe, so I'm leaving it out.
41
All that's left now is to bring it all together.
42
This cabbage is done resting.
43
If you look closely, you'll see it's actually released a lot of liquid and it's reduced significantly in volume.
44
So now we're gonna drain this in the sink
45
and then run it under cold water just to help wash away that excess salt.
46
And you can pick up little handfuls at a time, give it a good gentle squeeze to drain off any excess liquid, and then transfer this back to the large bowl.
47
Then you can toss in the carrot, the green onion, and the kimchi paste.
48
And now we're just gonna mix everything together, but if you've got cuts on your hands like I do, you might want to consider putting on some gloves.
49
Now we're just going to pack this kimchi into a clean jar.
50
Just press it down firmly though, so it's submerged in its own juices.
51
And just make sure to leave about an inch of space at the top, because fermentation is a living thing, it's breathing, it needs that room to breathe, so don't pack it all the way to the top.
52
Now you can just close the lid and leave it on the counter overnight, away from direct sunlight.
53
From here on out, you're just fermenting.
54
All right, so the next day you are going to open the lid to burp this and release any built-up gas, and you can give it a taste test.
55
For a mild kimchi, this is already ready after a day or two, especially if it's warm where you are.
56
But if you like a tangier kimchi like I do, it needs a little bit longer, so you might want to leave it on the counter for another day or two.
57
Just be sure to burp it in that time, and then from that point on, it's ready.
58
It's so tangy.
59
I love this so much.
60
At this point, you do want to move it to the fridge just to slow down fermentation, but now you've always got a jar of kimchi in your fridge.
61
It's good for months and you can add it to just about everything.
62
It's gut friendly, tangy, a bit spicy and super wholesome.
63
This recipe is linked for you in the description box below.
64
But if you do want to level up, we actually have a more traditional kimchi recipe on our website that uses more authentic ingredients and methods.
65
But this was just meant to be a beginner friendly version.
66
In any case, both are on the website for you.
67
The links are in the description box below.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
