it's fermented cabbage with hot sauce. buy some sauerkraut and throw some siracha on it. wala kimchi

The process is easier than it's made out to be and can be very rewarding. It does taste good, and can be customized to your taste. Whereas if you buy kimchi in a jar and rate it 8/10, you'll probably buy it again and continue liking it. But if you make yourself and it's an 8/10, you can change something for the next batch and improve, asymptotically approaching your Platonic ideal kimchi.

*forgot to mention it's seriously probiotic. I give myself a homemade sauerkraut juice enema every once in a while, when my gut begins to get sloppy. Kim chi might be a bit spicy for that though.

What is kimichi like? I don't like cooked cabbage, so not sure how I'd feel about this even though it's not cooked.

>>17415096
it's fun and it ferments for a short time compared to other stuff, getting some ingredients may be too much of a hassle and knowing what to use the leftovers for may be difficult but I think that if you have the time you should try it, I used maangchi's recipe and recommend it

>>17415096

If you're in the states and buy grocery store kimchi you lose its health benefits because of those damn FDA glow niggers and their pasteurization regulations. The benefit of homemade ferments beyond just the customization and flavor is the probiotics that haven't been nuked by FDA kikes

>>17415159
there's no benefit to eating kimchi. south korea has the highest rates of stomach cancer in the world because they always eat this garbage

>>17415170
They're also the hardest drinkers on earth, but yeah I'm sure the fermented cabbage is the problem

>>17415096
It's totally worth it. It's not as complex as it might feel. It takes a couple hours but most of the time is waiting for the cabbage to soften. For me homemade kimchi changed the way I use it. Before I'd only use it as a side, while when having access to huge amounts of homemade I'm often also using it for cooking. There's a lot of really good dishes based on kimchi: Kimchijeon (kimchi pancake), biji-jjiigae (kimchi and chickpea soup), kimchi fried rice, to name a couple.

>>17415170
Definitely couldn't be all the alcohol consumption.

>>17415184
Are they? They're pretty low on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption_per_capita#Comprehensive_list_with_data_from_2016

>>17415096
What I enjoy most about it is eating some after very short fermentation (~1day). Its very delicious, like a spicy cabbage salad although it can be just as tasty for warm dishes.

>>17415218
There's no way in hell that's accurate. South Koreans are indeed amongst the heaviest drinkers on the planet, second maybe only to some eastern European countries.

Also the stomach cancers are also because every other dish they have is deep fried, or super fatty such as pork belly that they love, etc...

>>17415153
sauerkraut but spicy

>>17415184
don't forget still having a large population of smokers too

It’s sauerkraut that tastes awful on its own I don’t think it’s worth it

>>17416186
I don't think I've ever had sauerkraut. What's it like compared to cooked cabbage? I assume it won't have the same smell at least.

>>17415242
It's just being looked at the wrong way. Sure it's half way down the list, but it's still fairly high. Especially when you compare it to some other countries it's above. There's also the fact some of the ones above it are only a decimal or two higher. Everyone I've known from Denmark was a regular beer drinker, and it's only .2 above South Korea. Ten liters of alcohol is still plenty of alcohol.

I love dooby, bros

>kimchi

>>17415133
What about shrimps, radish, carrot, ginger, garlic tho?
If your sauerkraut tastes the same as your kimchi, you're doing it wrong

>>17415096
>Is it worth the effort to make at home?
Yes, way better than the store bought and its easy once you've done it before and got the process down
> I have the ingredients
Do you have the right chilli flakes, these. they're different in taste and texture to regular chilli flakes
>Does it taste good?
Yes

>>17415133
>Kimchi has to be cabbage
American education

>all the fucking achshullies itt

>>17417061

>>17415096
The superior probiotic

>>17415096

>>17417758
>huezillian

Koreans have the highest rate of stomach cancer so it must be doing something right

>>17421816
No, It lasts up to maybe 3-4 months tops

>>17415096
fuck that shit, give us her onlyfans fagget

>>17419968

>Is it worth the effort to make at home?
if you live anywhere remotely near asia, then no.
you can buy 1kg buckets of the stuff for $2 or $3 worth.

if you live in the West, depends.
if you eat the shit constantly then yes.
if it's an occasional or one-off thing then just suck it up and pay $10 for the small jar in the hippie/organic section.

>>17415242
this guy's right.
in Korea and Japan it's basically socially expected for everyone to get smashed drunk every night or you're considered a weirdfreak healthnut or just a fukken fag.

>>17425213
That Asian ass

>>17415096
Its pretty good, Do you like saurkraut /pickles and fermented stuff? Also if you want a side dish make some of that korean sweet potato side dish "Gamja Jorim", I love that shit, kimchi is easier to have on the spot.

>>17415147
Are you actually shoving sauerkraut juice up your ass so you dont get diarrhea ?

Jesus christ my man just get some metamucil and lay off the booze

>>17425213
>Cabbage
>spam
>egg

Meanwhile i'd just walk back home and eat fucking tajines and couscous

I thank Allah for the benediction of Islam, halal food and a housewife as a mom

I don't like kimchi itself but my old korean roommate would make these stinky dishes with it that actually tasted quite great. In return I made him steaks and meat pies

>>17425213
more like doobydoBRAP

I made it at home and had a great time slowly working through the 2 gallon jug. not hard at all to finish the jug. It would cost like $100 or more for the amount of kimchi I made with like $15 of ingredients.

Is this the girl who made a Napolitan dish and replaced San Marzano Tomato Sauce with fucking Ketchup?!

>>17415096
I tried to make it once. I feel like it didn't really ferment, it just spoiled, didn't taste like kimchi at all.

>>17415218
>Nigeria
>91% "other"
What are they drinking? How does something other than Beer, wine, or spirits make up 90% of the market?

>>17418577
Radish kimchi was always my favorite as a North Texan when I visit Korean restaurants in Carrollton or off Royal Lane in Dallas.

>>17428711
It's Nigeria. They are so rich they only drink 25year old whiskey at the bare minimum.

>>17428711
Palm wine?

>>17428754
Wouldn't that still be wine?
>>17428736
That's spirits

>>17415096
It's good. I make it a lot. The classic cabbage one is not too bad. The radish one is really easy to make and if you want to experiment with it that's not a bad one to try first.

>>17428768
Evidently not.

>>17425213
What's up with her weird rant about stir fried anchovies? Nobody who likes anchovies is going to say "ew" about that.

>>17425326
so the nips and gooks got it right then. if you aren't smashed drunk every night then you are a faggot.

>>17418721
I have those. Same thing different brand right?

>>17429374
yeah looks right at a glance anon
