2. Prepare the Filling: Mix the vegetables with seasonings like gochugaru (Korean chili powder), garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and sugar.
3. Assemble the Kimchi: Place the filling on a cabbage leaf and wrap it tightly.
4. Ferment: Store the wrapped kimchi in a cool, dark place for a few days to allow the flavors to develop.
