Combine salt and water and bring to a full boil dissolving the salt. Cool down for 5 minutes and pour over cabbages in mixing bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes, turn the cabbages over to the other side and continue to soak for 5 more minutes. Rinse once and drain thoroughly.
To make Kimchi filling, combine garlic, ginger, onion and anchovy sauce in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree in a small mixing bowl. Add Korean chili flakes, sugar, and honey. Mix well.

Place drained cabbages in a large shallow mixing bowl. Add the red chilies if using, and the Kimchi filling. Toss all together to coat evenly. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and toss well. Adjust seasoning as you wish.

Steam Buns how to 

Put the water and yeast into a bowl and wait for the yeast to dissolve

Put into mixer add sugar, salt, dried milk, bread flour, powder, baking soda

Then add the pork fat, any fat will do. Bacon fat or duck fat.

After your dough is made divide into little balls then let sit for 20 -30 mins. They will double in size.

Then roll out the balls and add oil on one half then fold. The oil will stop the bun from sticking to the other side. After that place on steamer for 7 minutes.

Fill and serve! 

If you are looking for something a bit different this recipe is sure to impress.
