Making Kimchi for the First Time
Noserumi
This past week it has been warm like spring, but then suddenly got cold again.
I hope you are all in good health.
I recently made kimchi for the first time.
It all started when a fisherman gave them a lot of salted shrimp and the Chinese cabbage grown by the Ono family's parents was delicious.
When I looked up what I needed, I found that I had received some ingredients that we don't usually have at home, such as apples, for some reason...By coincidence, I tried it for the first time! I felt so relaxed that it might be the first and last time.
When the idea occurred to me, I started marinating immediately! Because, by chance, the ingredients I needed were right in front of me!
And maybe because of that... when I tasted it the day before yesterday, the third day after pickling, it was so spicy that my stomach and mouth were on fire after eating one piece...
Apparently it's the type of chili pepper that's causing this.
Apparently I had to buy special chili peppers specifically for kimchi, but I ended up using Japanese chili peppers that I had at home.
Kimchi made using ingredients received as a gift.
I wanted to share some with others, but it was extremely spicy...everything else was delicious...ugh.
However, when I made stir-fried cabbage with it at home, it was delicious and I was enchanted.
I'm glad that I can enjoy it until the very end.
I hope to use the power of fermentation to make some adjustments so that it becomes more mild and harmonious.
I hope you have a healthy day today too!
