Slurping them down, they're soft, chewy, and the savory, spicy, and sour sauce explodes on your tongue. The crisp, sour pickled vegetables cut through the richness of the minced meat. Then, a bite of a poached egg soaked in broth—layers of sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors unfold, warming you from your tongue to your stomach.

Enjoy the pleasures and benefits of eating Korean kimchi, especially homemade kimchi.

It boasts a rich and layered flavor: a harmonious blend of sour, spicy, and savory. The lactic acid produced during fermentation brings a refreshing tang, while the spiciness of the chili is not overpowering. Paired with garlic, ginger, apple, and pear, it's crisp, tender, and juicy. It can be served as a side dish to cut through richness or to add a touch of soul to rice, noodles, and other staple foods. Every bite is appetizing and satisfying. When chewing, you can feel the collision of the natural sweetness of the ingredients with the fermented flavor. It tastes even more refreshing when chilled, making it a delightful and comforting addition to everyday meals. It's versatile: it can be eaten raw as a side dish, stir-fried with pork belly, used in army stew, or added to kimchi soup. Heating it softens the sourness and enhances the aroma, making it a delightful addition to both casual meals and lavish banquets.
