Easy Kimchi
This time of year in New Hampshire, the farm stands are offering some amazing fresh produce. Mother Nature has brought some challenges to the weather for 2021. Thankfully, that did not prevent them from growing altogether. Our local farm stands network with each other, sending cases of beautiful fruits and vegetables to sell. A significant project for many in New England is actively canning, pickling, and fermenting foods. Korea's number one dish is Kimchi. Almost every meal served, kimchi is always by their side or on the main plate. This fermented food comes in well over 100 different varieties with vegetables being the main ingredient. This is made with a variety of seasonings more common in Korea, like gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) and gochujang (Korean pepper paste). Then you will find scallions, garlic, ginger, and salted seafood. This is served either as a side dish or can be the main dish. With Kimchi, you can open the door to many amazing meals such as stir-fry, with rice, with dangmyeon (Korean sweet potato glass noodles), into pancakes (pa jun or buchimgae), stews (Kimchi Jjigae, Budae jjigae, Jjampong), and even your regular eggs in the morning!
