About this

Kimchi is a quintessential fermented dish in South Korea, deeply embedded in the nation's culinary heritage and daily life. Typically made from napa cabbage or radishes seasoned with chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce, it undergoes lactic acid fermentation to develop its signature tangy, spicy flavor. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, kimchi is not just a staple side dish (banchan) at every meal but also a symbol of Korean identity, with families often preparing large batches during the annual kimjang tradition to last through winter.
