Well, Chef Vivian is back! As you know, i'm such a BIG fan of KPOP! The topic for this post is KIMCHI. Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. It is Korea's national dish, and there are hundreds of varieties made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, scallion, or cucumber. Kimchi is also a main ingredient for many Korean dishes such as kimchi stew (김치찌개; kimchi jjigae), kimchi soup (김칫국; kimchiguk), and kimchi fried rice (김치볶음밥; kimchi bokkeumbap).*source from wikipedia, i'm lazy to type out word by word :P
This is the kimchi i bought from market and had my first try on Kimchi. I'm totally addicted to kimchi after the second try on it, i think. Honestly, i was like most of the people(or maybe lil bit?) when first try on it, WEIRD. It's like spicy+sour taste and also a special fermented taste. I don't like it on my first try, but i bought it for about RM16 something, i'm not such food-wasting-people, so i just keep trying to make myself accept the "special taste". It was like a magic, i was addicted to it on my second try, i think the fermented taste caught my taste buds. Since that, i eat kimchi during every meals. Somehow, i suffer of lack of kimchi sometimes. Hahahahahhha!
I can finish one pack of kimchi within a month, sometimes 2 weeks. So actually i spent lots for it. I think it's a bit expensive for me, so i surf Google and also Youtube to get the recipes and also videos of how to make it and i tried to make it myself on last Tuesday. The video below is on how i made the Kimchi. Watch it and get my recipe on how to make kimchi. I'm sorry for bad quality of the video. I don't have any video recorder, so i had to use my poor camera to record it :P Hope you guys enjoy it :) *A reminder here, watch it in HD.
