For a major category in salt, try to make Kimchi

It turned out that Soo Jin did not avoid it completely. I used a paper cup of 200 milliliters as a kind of measurement from time to time to keep it on the field, then it was seized from there by taste.

While the quarters of the salted cabbage in the pelvis, it has onions, ginger, garlic, apples and Korean radish with a dasima broth (dried sea herb) who was fortified with dried shrimps and dried Pollack head.

At this point, I was placed on a pair of gloves, a step that no one can use later in their hands to touch other sensitive body parts. Gogugaru grabbed, poured it on a bowl of chopped Korean radish to the ancient matches, added 150 milligrams plus fish sauce, then a tablespoon of Saujeot-Salt and salt, already-before eating a small bite. Next, it was thrown at 30-sterd strained green onions and gave them all a strong sensation of the hands before dividing the mixture into three vessels, one for each head of the cabbage.

Each sheet got the cabbage on attention, and an explicit of a dough scattered on each of them, before folding the lush fine end for each quarter, and the whole thing is carefully covered inside the outer paper. Since my sister’s translation, Soo Jin did not address me directly all the time when I was there, but here she turned to me and supported one hot cabbage sheet, rolling into a dumplings of a bite, directly to my mouth with her disappointing hands. Our noses ran and our eyes went wide. It was raw, but good. I was happy because I got this taste, standard before salt, microbes, and the time that began to do something seriously.

Take samples of the final product.

There, as is a salty sweat on the scalp, my answer was: taste as you go. Whether this is what their families taught them or anything they chose on TV, or both, my Korean evidence was not blind. The flavors they created during the making of Kimchi were strong, sometimes this way, but by taste all the way they can confirm where they were on the map and know if they were heading in the right direction or needing the right. If the saline taste is particularly in an early step, they can retreat a little at a later time and know that the flavors will change and change with the cheer of Kimchi.

Returning home in Seattle, I made batches using recipes from reliable sources such as Eric Kim and Djoki ​​Hong. I was not at the point where I was able to deal with it – no, but I tasted and I went and I was learning these standard flavors, and I could imagine getting there one day.
