Yes, you read the title correctly. We've ventured into Kimchi territory. Even though neither Andy or I have even eaten Kimchi, we thought it would be a good idea to make some. And by some I mean a lot.

For anyone interested, we used the Foodie with Family recipe for Mak Kimchi.
Andy slaughters the Napa cabbage.
We ended up buying this on Amazon. Anyone interested in making Kimchi should definitely just borrow some of this from me. You can't tell from the photo, but this a really big bag, and we only used a little bit.
Chile powder, ginger, onions, garlic, miso paste, fish sauce, and a little apple juice.
I took a long time to take this picture (alla mom) and when I finally finished, Andy admitted the onions had been making his eyes water the whole time but he'd been trying to smile nicely. Sorry Andy, hehe.

Wow - Kimchi! This blog is getting spicy!
ReplyDeleteOur local World Foods sells kimchi our of a special 'kimchi fridge'. There's nothing special about the fridge except that it has kimchi in it - the odor is too overpowering to keep it with the other food. I'll be interested in seeing how it turns out.
Thanks for the Foodie with Family link. I think the kimchi cakes sound like they are worth trying.
Did Andy actually eat it? This sounds very exotic for him!
ReplyDeleteWe still have't tried it to be honest. It's quite fermented by now, but by the time we get around to just trying a new food, it's usually 10:30 pm and then it doesn't sound so good anymore. But I'm making Bo Ssam this week (http://www.foodiewithfamily.com/2013/10/14/bo-ssam-korean-pork-roast-lettuce-wraps-make-ahead-mondays/) just so we have something to eat our kimchi with. Plus it looks delicious.
