    Add fish sauce, garlic, and ginger to make a balanced kimchi paste.

  4. 4

    Fold radish and scallions into the paste to finish the filling.

  5. 5

    Spread filling between each leaf layer and wrap with outer leaves.

  6. 6

Flavor is fresh at first and turns deeper, tangier after about a week.
