smells like garbage in the sun, honestly.

>>14125458
Sauerkraut > Kimchi

>>14125458
Havent had it in a couple years. Went well with the friend chicken at the korean chicken restaurant. Too bad it closed. Im so lonely bros.

>>14125458
For some weird reasons I've never tried it. What does it taste like and when do you eat it?

tastes like a horrendous mixture of salsa and coleslaw

>>14125478
Spicy sauerkraut, less salty. Pretty good and good for you

made it today. what do you guys think?

>>14125458
One of the tastiest things out there.

>>14125478
Like... spicy sauerkraut? Some of it will tingle on your tongue. It's great.

>>14125478
fizzy spicy cabbage

>>14125458
perfect condiment to go with kalbi marinated grilled ribeye. have with a scoop of piping hot rice, and some salted edamame. all you need is a cold bottle of asahi beer to wash it down.

>>14125466
Yes we gooks eat kimchi for every meal like a butter but honestly, kimchi smells disgusting
Also you are ridiculed by normies if you pretend to be proud of kimchi or if it's your favorite food. Yogurt>>kimchi>burger

>>14125499
Cringe.

>>14125499
You have to salt the cabbage till yellow like brine a turkey. We call it "kill the cabbage" so too much salt is just enough. Green kimchi is disgusting and easy to rot. Please throw away them before you get food poisoning

>>14125552
yea salted it over night

Fresh Kimchi is REALY REALLY good.
The fermented shit is nasty.
I like to make Mangchis emergency kimchi recipe and eat it for breakfast with some fried eggs, rice, and tinned sardines.

>>14125562
Then it shouldn't be green. It's as failure as partially pink burger patty.
+Rock salt(usual burger salt)makes kimchi bitter use korean or kosher salt

>>14125458
mmm stomach cancer!

>>14125552
That's over salting. If you want that you can buy it at Costco. The leaves should be bright, and green.

Take a pan and melt some butter and olive oil and fry the kimchi in it until it browns. You're welcome

>>14127493
Wtf anon I just made napalm

>>14125478
Spicy and weirdly fresh.

kimchee is based

Kimchi fried rice + fried egg on top is GOAT hangover food

>>14125458
It’s getting memed right now in restaurants like Siracha did but it’s pretty good. I like young kimchi since it’s milder in flavor and has a fizzy kind of taste. Usually Koreans eat it with a bunch of other small side plates called banchan.

>>14125458

I made my own two weeks ago. Made cabbage and radish kimchis.

It's pretty versatile. Cabbage you can out in a lot of soups and stuff. Radish is a great snack. Lots of flavors. I feel like I could do better the second time too.

>>14125458
It's good. And for people that think they don't like kimchi, they probably do, they just haven't found the right kind/age. I personally can't eat it without a spoonful of something warm though, like rice.

>>14125470
objectively trash opinion and incorrect

>>14125470
Pickle>kraut so no

>>14125479
Sounds gorgeous

must be good because the girls are always yelling about it in japanese porn

>>14125478
Spicy. When it's recently made, it's just spicy fresh cabbage. I guess because it's made with gochujang, there's a tiny bit of a savory taste. It gets sourer as it ages, I personally like it when it's a little sour but doesn't attack your tongue. Not sure how to describe it otherwise, because typically you don't eat kimchi by itself.

>>14128384
>I guess because it's made with gochujang
no

>>14128384
No it's made from dried and powdered pepper(gochu). Gochu and Gochujang are as different as cacao and chocolate

In the Balkans we call it "Turshia" and most people make their own in winter in a barrel in the basement or or on balcony. They put in other vegetables as carrots and sour tomatoes as well as cabbage.
It's a comon side dish for grape/plum brandy (Rakia).

>>14128508
I heard russian carrot kimchi Mopкoвь пo-кopeйcки(korean carrot) was made by koreans moved into russia.

>>14125478
like a crunchy spicy sour cabbage that stinks

>>14125508
Never tasted any of this but sounds great

is it possible to make cruchy Kimchi pancake with less oil? everytime i cook, it always either soggy or burnt to crisp

>>14125470
Suerkraut is gross bro
>>14125458
Delicious. There's a restaurant downtown that has excellent kimchi-- I always make sure to stop by there when I'm in the area and have time

>>14128458
You're right, I misremembered. Somehow, I mixed up my mom mixing gochujang squid and making kimchi. The taste is definitely different, that's a perfect anology.

This is Korean propaganda thread.

>>14129953
It's korean conspiracy to give the world tasty stomach cancer.

>>14125477
>friend chicken

>>14125478
Spicy, zesty sauerkraut that fizzes a little when you chew it. It's delicious.

Bought a jar of it from the store cause I've never tried it and heard great things about it.

Didn't like it. I was expecting more spice and more of a vinegary taste. I'll stick to sauerkraut.

>>14130432
>jar from the store
Go to a good Korean restaurant and get it, it's got a ton of spice

>>14125458
Despite my Asian background and liking some things people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, I've never tried kimchi and I'm kinda scared too.
I've tried sauerkraut but I wasn't too into it.

>>14130458
Not really comparable imo. Different flavors, different textures, different kinds of cabbage even.

>>14130458
I hate sauerkraut and love kimchi

>>14130445
You're right, I should do that. Cause there's like a billion fuckin korean resturants in Nebraska.

>>14130498
I live in Mississippi and figured it out.

>>14130518
Good for you. I don't feel like traveling to another city just to try a condiment that I didn't like to begin with because some faggot from mississippi thinks I should.

So, yea.

>>14128189
It's weird. One of my favorite kimchis (No1 Sons) is only aged a week and is perfect. Some stuff I got from a philipino joint was horrible tasting (possibly the oyster sauce?) and very fibrous. Let it sit for about a year now and it's delicious albeit extra sour.

>>14130584
Well you're just plain shitty for no reason. You're a cooking board, of course someone is going to suggest food. Learn how to interact with people dickweed.

>>14130604
Awww did someone's feelings get hurt?

Yea I really don't give a fuck.

>>14130610
Not him, but you're a real dick bag. Reevaluate yourself.

>>14125458
It's pretty good

>>14125478

But do you taste 'fermentation'? I don't mean like sour, which is fine, but is there a negative aftertaste?

>>14130639
>is there a negative aftertaste?
Not in any that I've ever had. It's refreshing and clean tasting.
