Couple
weeks ago I pulled all the Japanese turnips, some are quite small but
tender and delicious, I didn't have the heart to through them away so I
made these two side dishes for lunch. You can use any vegetable to make the Korean kimchi such as cucumber, summer squash, winter squash, radish, daikon, napa cabbage, bok choy, and mustard etc...The basic ingredients for the recipe are more or less the same, feel free to add or take away any ingredient and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Baby turnip kimchi - most of the red color came from paprika, it's not that hot.
Sprinkle salt over turnip (or radish), mix and set aside for about 5 minutes; rinse and drain.
Seasoning: minced garlic and ginger, minced Korean brined shrimp (or few drops of fish sauce),
pinch of salt, sugar, and Korean chili pepper (use more if you like heat), add some paprika for color.
Toss vegetable with seasoning and set aside for an hour or two before serving, good with BBQ.
The kimchi can be kept in the frig for long time, but it never lasted more than 3 days at our house.
Roasted baby turnip - olive oil, salt, pepper, and few drops of maple syrup.

We never make Kimchi. We have good friends that are Korean and they make it and bring it to us all the time. It's very very good for you!
that looks delicious!
Your kimchi looks delicious. We posted about kimchi too!
That kimchi looks so good and easy to make. I know I have some fish sauce on hand... I really should give this a try!
Those roasted turnips look just beautiful - lovely photo. I too have never made kimchi which I really should rectify soon.
The kimchi certainly looks delicious...
Inspiring, I was just wondering what should we do with our kabu when it is ready in spring.
