Cover with water - use as little as possible, just enough to come to near the top of the vegetables. Put in some salt and some pepper. Put in the five bay leaves. Boil on medium-high for 30 minutes (turn down to medium if it boils over too much) or until potatoes come apart when pierced with a fork. Take out the bay leaves.

Pour that out and repeat until all the vegetables have been blended.

Between layers, liberally sprinkle with 1/2 cup salt. Cover with water and place a wide plate or pot on top to submerge them. Leave overnight or at least 12 hours. Drain & Rinse vegetables in a colander. Julienne each vegetable into a uniform shape. return them to the large bowl, and add spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, soy/tamari, salt and 1 cup water. Toss to combine. Spoon the vegetabels with liquid into a large crock or clean jars. Cover tightly or cap. Refridgerate for 3 days before opening. Everyday, turn jars upside down a couple of times to distribute spices, or stir vegetables in the crock. Store in refridgerator. Notes: ------ Kim chee spiciness varies depending on the hotness of the chili flakes used. The longer it sites, the hotter it gets (up to a point). I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the recipe, but its about as close as I've come. beware 'kim chee' spices in oriental food stores, as they most likely have MSG in them. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: steven.frank%acc1bbs@ssr.com (Steven Frank) KIM CHI ======= Ingredients: ------------ 2 heads of Chinese (or white) cabbage 1 cup of salt 1 lbs daikon (long white Oriental radish) 6 green (spring) onions 4 cloves garlic 1 inches fresh gingerroot 1 stalk of celery 1 hard, semi-ripe pear 4 tblsp ground red pepper (cayenne) 1 tblsp granulated sugar Instructions: ------------- 1. Remove (do not discard) the outer leaves from the cabbage. Quarter the cabbage and place together with the outside leaves in a large bowl. Sprinkle on the salt. Let stand 3 hours, turning occasionally. 2. Peel the daikon and cut into long thin strips. Cut the onions into 1." strips and then shred lengthwise into slivers. Mix the daikon and onion strips together in another bowl and let sit while the cabbage and salt mixture is sitting. 3. Peel and mince garlic and gingerroot. Cut celery into 1" lengths and shred lengthwise. Peel, core, and slice the pear and then cut into long strips. Mix these ingredients together with the cayenne and granulated sugar and combine into the daikon and onion mixture. 4. The cabbage will have produced a brine after sitting. Remove the outer leaves from the brine and set aside. Take a quarter of the cabbage head, rinse it under running water then pack the daikon and onion mixture between the leaves. Set it in the bottom of a crock or other container. Repeat this procedure with the remaining three quarters. Any remaining mixture should be layered over the cabbage. Press down. 5. Place the outer leaves in a layer on top of the cabbage and cover the crock. Set a small weight on top of the cover and let sit for 3 days. The longer it sits the stronger it gets! It can be stored for a month prior to opening. Keep it in a cool (60 degree) place. After removing the Kim Chi from the crock it can be stored in glass jars and used as needed. This is a strong recipe and if it is still not hot enough, diced red peppers with seeds can be added, to the daikon and onion mixture, but do so at your own risk! Enjoy. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: artemis@rahul.net (Michelle Dick) Source: McDougall Cookbook - Volume 1 MILLET STEW (Vegan) =========== (Servings: 6) Ingredients: ------------ 1 cup millet 4 cup water 2 onions - cut in wedges 2 potatoes - cut in large chunks 2 carrots - cut in large slices 1 cup celery - cut in large slices 1/2 lb mushrooms - chopped 2 bay leaves 1/2 tsp basil 1/2 tsp thyme Instructions: ------------- Toast millet in dry skillet for about 5 minutes.

Either proceed with recipe, or cool down and refrig. until you feel like proceeding Soup: ----- Add: ---- 1 bag of sour kraut which has been rinsed several times to remove some salt (this is about 1 lb) 1 chopped cabbage 3 shredded carrots 1 small can of tomato paste 1 can of "white beans" (great northern beans are what I use) salt and pepper to taste Instructions: ------------- Add the sour kraut to the stock, after removing meat/bones. Cook this covered for about 45 minutes. Next add the shredded carrots. Cook for about 10 minutes. Then add the chopped cabbage, cooking for about 15 minutes, or until the fresh cabbage is tender. Then add the tomato paste, mixing until it's dissolved. Now bring it back to boiling, and cook for a couple of minutes. Next dump the beans in (you don't have to drain them). Heat til boiling, then cover it and let it sit (if you're not too hungry) for about an hour so the flavors can mix. If there is not enough liquid, you can add water or tomato juice. Of course, add salt and pepper to taste. This soup is a hearty winter one that goes well with black bread and butter! %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: red_trek@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu WATERCRESS SOUP =============== Short version: -------------- Prepare a vegetable stock. Boil briefly with 4 cloves of roasted garlic. Remove from heat, and, as boiling subsides, add a lot of watercress leaves. Long version, for two large servings: ------------------------------------- Bake: ----- 4 cloves of garlic 1 medium carrot, scraped 2 small stalks of celery 1/2 medium onion Mince and saute in a little oil briefly. Meanwhile wash and remove leaves from large bunch of watercress. Chop a few of stems of the watercress*, to get loose fistfull Add: ---- 5 cups cold water 3 stems of italian (flat) parsely The chopped watercress stems* 1/2 tsp thyme (dried leaves) and 1/2 tsp sage (dried leaves) (use less if you have powder) 1 bay leaf 1 tsp salt (you'll add more later) Few grinds of pepper Instructions: ------------- Heat should be medium low, so it comes to a slow boil. (You can make the rest of your dinner while this is happening.) Let boil gently ca. 20 minutes, spoon off some and taste for salt and pepper. Remove garlic from oven, let cool, skin. Strain through cheesecloth or fine sieve to get a clear stock. Smash up the garlic in a bit of the stock, stir in to the stock. Bring to a furious boil. Kill the heat immediately. When boiling is almost subsided, throw in watercress leaves and stir around. * The watercress stems may be a mistake. The stock was good but a little flat, next time I'm going to try without the stems. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% From: christa@horga.ruhr.de (Christa Keil) Christa Keil, Postfach 101312, 44543 Castrop-Rauxel, Germany ZUCCHINI SOUP ============= Ingredients: ------------ 1 1/2 l vegetable broth 8 cups zucchini, diced 1 - 2 tomatoes, chopped Salt Pepper Parsley Sage Garlic Instructions: ------------- Boil zucchini and tomatoes in vegetable broth until very well done.
