Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Think crunchy pickles crossed with your favorite jar of kimchi. Just the right amount of heat, sour and salt. Great for snacking, accompanying fish, poultry or meat or in a rice or noodle bowl.
One of my staples is kimchi. People are surprised that fermenting kimchi is really easy. If you can make coleslaw, you can make kimchi. Shred all the veggies, season them, pack them into a jar & ferment on the counter for a week. Done!
Light, bright, not too hot and and not at all stinky, summer kimchi is an alternative to slaw and relishes. Cabbage, carrots and radishes, it's only slightly sour and crunchy.
Most kimchi is too spicy for kids to enjoy, but not this one: as we’ve left the chili out completely. This kimchi has ginger and garlic like a traditional recipe, but in milder quantities for tender palates. A quick and easy ferment to make.
What's better than fresh, homemade kimchi? This homemade kimchi with fresh pomegranate seeds - an all out flavor extravaganza! Sweet, salty, spicy, pungent and sour, this one has it all. Amazing with stir fry, seafood or eaten straight from the jar!
The anise taste and wet crunch of fennel make an excellent kimchi. Since gochugaru dried pepper flakes weren't available this recipe used McCormick red pepper flakes. Worked out just fine!
