kimchi

Fall here in Korea means Kimchi making time, and for our trusty band of foreigners that meant getting together the ingredients and heading over to Paul and Aubry's house so that we could make this staple of Korean Cuisine.
For those of you who may live in a black hole and not know about kimchi it is a slightly spicy fermented cabbage dish that is served at literally every Korean meal from breakfast to a late night snack.
While the main ingredients of chili powder, fish sauce, dicon, and cabbage stay basically the same, the periphery ingredients can include all manner of seafood and other asian vegetables. Even though it takes a little while to get used to for some people it almost invariably grows on people and you get to the point where you cannot envision a meal without it.
