Kimchi
Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made primarily from fermented vegetables, most commonly napa cabbage and Korean radishes. Originating in Korea, it has become a staple in Korean cuisine, with a history dating back centuries. The flavor profile of kimchi is complex, featuring a tangy, spicy, and slightly sour taste due to the fermentation process, often enhanced by the addition of chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and jeotgal (fermented seafood). Its texture is crunchy yet softened by fermentation, offering a satisfying mouthfeel. In cooking, kimchi adds depth of flavor and a unique tanginess to dishes. It can be used fresh or cooked, and its fermentation qualities allow it to improve with age, developing even richer flavors over time.
