  • Today let's learn to make the best Korean kimchi 韓國泡菜. / cicili Esther grew up cooking with her grandma. Grandma taught Esther everything about food, including on how to love every ingredient, appreciate and respect the process of making every dish. Esther believes that is what Korean food is all about: dedication and passing on that kind of love to people.
    So you may be wondering, what exactly is kimchi? Kimchi is a fermented side dish, which is usually made of napa cabbages, garlic, gingers, scallions, daikon radishes, and with a variety of seasonings. Kimchi is rich in vitamin A, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), calcium, iron, and contains lactic acid bacteria. Health magazine even named kimchi in its list of the top five "World's Healthiest Foods".
    Korean loves kimchi so much that they made is as a national dish. South Koreans consume about 40 pounds of kimchi per person every year. During South Korea's involvement in the Vietnam War its government requested American help to ensure that South Korean troops receiving their kimchi supplies. That’s how important kimchi is to Korean. FOR THE FULL RECIPE CLICK HERE cicili.tv/the-best-korean-kim...

    How she's rubbing the ingredient kimchi paste is accurate and make sure you rub the ingredient between each leaf! I wouldn't leave the prepared kimchi sitting out longer than 24 hours then place it in your refrigerator for the perfect fermented kimchi

    Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...I can't wait to try! I notice that the many recipes out there have slight variations. I'm wondering why you don't give the cabbage a final rinse before filling with the paste. Also, do you find it easier to work with the quarter sections as opposed to cutting up into smaller pieces before fermenting?

    Thank you Thank you Thank you! That is extremely fascinating! The ingredients and process are awesome! I am blessed to have 3 Asian cultures in my line, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I love all kinds of kimchi including oyster kimchi, which some people may turn their nose up, but I love it! I make my kimchi with very few ingredients. Napa, garlic, green onion, garlic chili paste, fish sauce, crushed fennel seed, sesame oil, chili powder. I layer the ingredients in a mason jar and turn the jar several times as I continue to layer it. I generally start with the base of the Napa and add the leafy greens last. As I layer the jar and let it sit, it breaks down and I just keep layering. I use to add Himalayan pink salt but don't add salt anymore, the garlic chili paste and fish sauce are enough for me. If I start at 10am the kimchi is ready to eat by 3pm.

    I've been searching forever for the best kimchi recipe and had myself convinced I just could not make my own kimchi at home, and in Miami Florida area, there aren't any markets that make decent kimchi. I would love to thank Esther Choi for sharing her recipe. Her confidence in the superiority of her family's recipe really inspired me to try one more time to make kimchi, my favorite food. THIS IS THE BEST KIMCHI!!!! The only alterations I had to make due to availability were using kimchi brining coarse salt instead of rock salt and mirin instead of plum extract. Thank you CiCi and Esther :-)!!!!

Raw mangoes are mostly used and they are left in the sun outside for 10 days after doing a similar process as given above. We don't use any kind of fish sauce but yes too much of mustard oil to dip in the mangoes.

    There is still one question I have on my mind left: As some Koreans do prepare it for one year, how do you store it? As it is fermented, I think you have to open the lift regularly? Or can I just leave it in my cellar after putting it into my fridge with the final step? Do I have to open it again then? I want to make it in a big amount when the first try went well.

    • @TheGreatSarastro
      @TheGreatSarastro Před 2 lety

      yeah we prepare it for one year, so whole relatives gather around on kimchi making day, and processe average of 25 cabbage per family. Kimchi should be kept closed to get fermented. Koreans used to keep kimchi in urns in the ground to keep the temperature around 15~18C, so if your cellar is cool enough, it's okay to store it there. Otherwise it'll turn bad. But these days, koreans prefer to buy a small batch from the market because kimchi loses it's benefits after 50 days of storages.
