During the Spring Festival, my parents and I went to my aunt's house for dinner. My aunt just returned from studying in Korea. Before dinner, she said that she would invite us to taste one of her specialties, my aunt's "specialty"? Aunt's "specialty"? As far as I know, aunt can't cook!
soon after dinner, my aunt brought out a large bowl of celadon from the kitchen, which was covered with a lid. She asked mysteriously, "What is this?" Everyone shook their heads in unison, saying that they couldn't guess, but I couldn't wait to come forward and open the lid. I saw a few yellow leaves of Chinese cabbage and a few green cucumbers and lettuce lying in a big white bowl. What we saw at ordinary times was that these yellow leaves and green melons were covered with a layer of red soup, as if they were covered with a thin layer of red yarn. Although everyone couldn't guess what this dish was, they all agreed that my aunt had deliberately. Seeing only such a humble dish, I was a little disappointed when I was full of hope just now. I couldn't help but say, "Isn't this the pickles we usually eat? The red one is probably with some spicy seasoning. I thought it was delicious." Aunt smiled and said, "This is a famous kimchi. Try it. How does it taste?" Dad picked up a piece first, chewed it in his mouth and made a "click-click" sound. He tasted it carefully before squinting and bobbing out two words: "Delicious!" Looking at my father's expression, I couldn't wait to pick up a green cucumber and put it in my mouth. It felt crispy and a little salty, a little spicy, with a little sweetness but fragrant, and it was rich in flavor. Although it was a little spicy, it was refreshing. My mouth and even my throat were filled with this taste, which subverted my previous feeling of cucumber taste: "Wow, it's delicious!" I picked up another vegetable leaf. Well, it was rich in flavor, heavy in taste, deep in taste, salty and sour, and slightly sweet. I ate my mouth full of oil and shouted at my aunt, "Is this kimchi? Aunt, you are amazing! " With a thumbs-up sign, my aunt said shyly, "Kimchi is delicious, but it's also convenient to cook. Just put your favorite dishes in a clean jar, sprinkle with seasoning, put some Chili oil on it and soak for a few days."
After dinner, my aunt told me that kimchi has been in Korea for more than 1 years, and the Korean people's dining table is very monotonous. They are not good at cooking, so they invented kimchi, which is convenient to pickle and can be stored for a long time. It is delicious and cheap, and is deeply loved by the people. Therefore, kimchi has become a common food on people's dining table.
I think that my aunt, who is not good at cooking, can cook such delicious kimchi. It seems that no matter what she does with her heart, she will certainly get something!
