Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz is an excellent introduction to transforming all sorts of foods with microbes--fermented vegetables like krauts and kimchis, dairy foods like yogurt and cheese, sourdough breads, beverages like beers, wines, and meads, and traditional soy foods like miso and tempeh.
Ginger, garlic, and red chili pepper are the predominant seasonings for most kimchis, while cabbage, radishes, and onions are the vegetables used to form their bulk.
