Korean kimchi and its making method
Kimchi is a classic Korean food with good nutrition, good taste and beauty, and it is an indispensable dish for Koreans. At first, kimchi was only used to pickle vegetables with salt. By the 16th and 17th centuries, the introduction of pepper had revolutionized the production of kimchi. Due to the abundance of South Korea's sea, more than 2 kinds of kimchi are removed from peppers, and more than 3 kinds are often eaten. In addition to common vegetables such as cabbage, cucumber and radish, there are also kimchi of meat and seafood. Since vegetables can't be grown on farmland in South Korea after winter, almost all housewives will pickle kimchi in autumn. Kimchi, which looks bright red and sour, is not as spicy as it looks.
