I've seen a different way they make this in a TV show. They keep the cabbage in whole. Then flip open piece leaf by leaf and apply the sauce layer by layer. It was quite laborious.
My friend told me they have to have 2 refrigerators in Korea - one for kimchi and one for the rest. :-)
Just wondering have you ever tried to google for: Agnes Park?
@ace108
you should give this word to @opheliafu ;)
You're right - that's the traditional way of making it as I wrote above and shown on the third picture. Like I wrote, I tweaked it because I need to make it easier for me to do. And if it's too difficult the readers of this article would have a hard time, too.
Making Kimchi the traditional way needs a huge space and I have a kitchen with just enough room for me to roll around not to mention that it's very white. The kimchi mix could stain the cupboard doors so I had to find ways to make it a lot easier to do.
What matters is that it has the same health benefits as that of the traditionally made kimchi.
This is the normal scene in making kimchi the traditional way in Korea.
Yes they do, they consume a great amount of kimchi. It's always served in every meal and they always eat a lot so they make a lot of kimchi -and have a separate fridge for its smell could get to the other dishes.
This is a normal scene in Korean table - I miss experiencing this. It's a always a buzz eating with them. They always tell a joke, and that I like a lot because I was brought up - with a certain table manner - one is "no long faces in front of the food." With the Koreans, I was always happy having a meal with them - not just cause of the food but also cause they tell so many funny stories. I love that about them. As you can see there's not just one plate of kimchi on the side dishes.
Yes, that's after daum, naver and kakao story didn't give me anything about her. You probably are the same age as she is - however, I'm not sure she uses computer as many other people your age. I was late with having emails - had it not been to my students I would have not had an email. I was a workaholic back then, oblivious that the world was leaving me behind till one of my Japanese students asked me to have one when her family had to go back to Japan. I was already 24 - it was too late isn't it.
Hahaha my comment already looks like an article.
Then, let's upvote the comment. :-)
Thanks for the detail reply.
Tried FB for Agnes Park? For the land that produce Samsung phones, I think we have to give them some credit for use of technology.
Any chance: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010001643696
@ace108 Thank you!
Oh I forgot to put in that long comment above -
Koreans have a different name, they use a certain character like in my case they would write Ivy as 아이비.
Agnes is not the name that's on her birth certificate. That's the English name she chose to make it easy for the international friends she had when she was in the Philippines. I don't know her first name. I only know her last name which is actually the last name of her hubby. Korean women don't change name after getting married, they have that privilege like we do here in the Netherlands. So I only know she's Mrs. Park but it's possible that she was actually a Kim or a Lee or a Wang or - any other Korean Last name. I had her back when I was young - early 20s - on those 1st years of teaching Orientals, I wasn't aware of so many things about their culture. I was joggling between Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Hongkongese and Thais "culture and info about them" back then.
Oh well. I guess you tried everything you thought of. :-)
@ace108 I did. I was close to her - like a mom!
