Kimchi (Korean food)🥬🥬

Kimchi is the national food of Koreans that is becoming more popular day by day. With a unique flavor Therefore, foreigners like to come and try it, and I am no exception. Kimchi is always popular as a side dish in meals. Especially grilled food that is often seen in almost every restaurant. In addition, it can also be used to make food as an ingredient in many menus.

In addition to having a spicy taste, kimchi also has nutrients that are beneficial to the body. Contains various vitamins The origin of making kimchi is due to the weather conditions in Korea during the winter, making it impossible to cultivate it. Therefore, the shelf life of food must be extended by using Korean food storage and preservation methods.

And the recipe for making kimchi in each house is different, but the ingredients are similar. And this time I will make kimchi myself for the first time. There aren't many Asian shops here and buying kimchi at a time doesn't taste good. Plus the price is expensive too. One day, I went to an Asian store and saw Kosujang sauce, which is a Korean chili sauce that I had been looking for for a long time. I had an idea to make kimchi, so I bought Chinese cabbage from the Asian store. Once I had the main ingredients, I prepared the other items the next day. Once I have all the ingredients, let's make kimchi.

The ingredient🥬 🥬

Chinese cabbage
Carrot
Spring onion
Onion
Apple
Garlic
Ginger
White sesame
Kosu-chan
Salt
Fish sauce

The method 🥬🥬

Cut the Chinese cabbage into pieces and soak it together with carrots and spring onions in water with salt for about 3-4 hours.

Then come prepare the sauce that will be used for marinating. By taking apple, ginger, garlic, and onion, cut them into small pieces and put them in a blender.

When everything is blended until fine, then mix in the gosujang. Add about two tablespoons of fish sauce. Some recipes mix in glutinous rice flour to add sourness, but I don't mix it because I want to eat it for a long time so it doesn't become sour.

When waiting for the vegetables to be soaked in salt, take those vegetables, squeeze out the salt water and wash them so that they are not too salty. Mix it with the sauce that we cooked and squeeze it to mix well. Taste and add seasoning as desired. Some people add sugar.

Store in a jar or box with a tightly closed lid and place in the refrigerator. Some recipes don't need to be refrigerated, leave for 14-18 hours and then refrigerate.

And this is my first time making kijchi. And I really like it. I like to eat kimchi. When I make it myself, I feel proud. The resulting kimchi can be stored for a long time. It's not expensive but it's delicious. Anyone who wants to make their own snacks, try to find the ingredients. Some things we don't have, we just adapt them to what we have. You don't have to do the same thing 100%. Just do what you have and we'll be satisfied. Now you have food that's delicious and to your liking. Hope everyone likes my post.
