Kimchi Day!
|
Today was kimchi day for the Hwang family. Jin hand made the kimchi. It takes most of the day to prepare and then a few days later it's ready to eat. It's fermented, so I think it actually tastes better the longer you wait. Kimchi is a Korean traditional food that is served at almost every meal. It could be simply described as spicy pickled cabbage. It might not sound too appetizing, but it's quite good. There are also many varieties of kimchi that include a combination of spices and other vegetables.
I've found that most of the kimchi dishes I try, I like very much. There's one in particular that I dislike. It's a cold kimchi dish that looks like it would be sweet. It looks like pink ice sweet water that you drink. It tastes like sour cold spicy kimchi and it makes both my ears do opposing back flips while my tongue splits in two and rapidly travels up my nasal cavity and out both my nose holes....which means...not so good for me!
What I learned
today about Korea: 1)
The Korean cabbages
are very different looking from the American ones. To me, they
look like a cross between long lettuce and cabbage.
