The ingredients that follow are for the seasoning paste, and should make enough for a quart jar of kimchi. You can scale it up or down as needed, and I often double or triple it to make more than one batch at a time.
Seasoning Paste for Kimchi
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp soy sauce
6 garlic clove, minced
2″ piece of ginger, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup gochugaru flakes (more or less to taste)
