#korean food

There are many types of food representing Korea such as bulgogi and fried rice. But I think Kimchi is the most famous food among them. It is a food seasoned with vegetables that are picked in salt water and fermented to enhance storage properties. Besides spicy and salty kimchi, there are various kinds of kimchi.

Cabbage kimchi is one of the types of kimchi, it is made by dividing whole cabbage, picking it in salt water, and mixing seasoning. As it is a representative kimchi among the kinds of kimchi, when it comes to kimchi, it refers to cabbage kimchi and is eaten the most. Also, most of the dishes using kimchi, such as kimchi stew, kimchi fried rice, kimchi jeon, and kimchi guk, are generally used as cabbage kimchi. Kkakdugi is a kimchi made by diced radish into square cubes, marinated in salt, mixed with red pepper powder or other seasonings. It goes well with selleongtang. The ingredients and the way it is made before cutting it are similar to Chonggak kimchi, but the size is very different in that it can be eaten relatively finely. Chonggak kimchi leaves less spicy taste left in the radish when kimchi has been prepared, and the characteristic spicy taste of radish remains strong. Of course, it will be resolved when it matures over time. Because it is kimchi that has just been established the recipe, there are very few variations. Wherever you go in Korea, people tend to mix the whole chopped radish with red pepper seasoning. Dongchimi is water kimchi made with radish as the main ingredient. It is one of the oldest types of kimchi. It has a history of at least four times longer than red cabbage kimchi, which is recognized as a representative of kimchi. There are so many kinds of kimchi in Korea. There is even ‘Kimchi game’, which is a game that wins if there is no search result by Google after saying the name of a vegetable that is unlikely to be made with kimchi and kimchi. Foods you do not even think about are made into kimchi.
