Fermentation

I recently learned how to make kimchi and sauerkraut! Yum!! Jonathan isn't a fan of kimchi, but he loves kraut. While kraut is German fermented cabbage, kimchi is Korean and has a medley of veggies in it. The main ingredient is napa cabbage, and it often has carrots, garlic, ginger, red chili, and Asian radish in it. You can buy kimchi in stores here, but it's waaaay cheaper to just make your own! We have a couple of friends that make their own, so they shared their knowledge! The kraut takes longer to ferment, so it's still sitting. The kimchi is done, after having sat and bubbled for 4 days. It's so yummy and has a very subtle hint of heat. I can't wait to use these in recipes!
