Brussel Sprout Kimchi

Oh yes, another Kimchi!!!! But why would I choose Brussel Sprouts? I dislike Brussel Sprouts, and I've had them prepared just about every way. After a buddy (JJG) posted his version, I thought I would give it a try. I wondered if I made Kimchi using  "BS"  (No-Pun intended), the flavor profile would change enough for me to change my opinion. I am happy to report I loved the "BS-Kimchi" even though I could taste the "BS."   I'll admit the puns intended or not are fun.  Results were tremendous, so therefore, I will post a somewhat detailed recipe. Please consult the other Kimchi Recipes for extra details.  Note:  Since I've never bought BS before and after prepping them, I had a couple of takeaways.

I made some minor changes, but it's essentially the same. These precise measurements are not necessary, but since I was going to write them down anyway, I might as well be meticulous. If this recipe comes out great or meets my expectations, I can look back replicate it. And if I am not exactly happy or want to modify, I have a good starting point. And if you, the reader, want to duplicate what I did or somehow get inspired to make their own, this would be a good starting point.  Here you go... Using a knife, split them open from the back and use your hands to do the rest of the splitting. If they're on the larger size, s
