Making Kimchi in a place that is not common even in Korea

See the entire process of making 21 heads of Kimchi. made from Napa cabbage, is one of Koreans' favorite Kimchi. I hope you find satisfaction in my video!

I am not Korean. I bought a jar of kimchi at the supermarket and I didn't like it. I have a friend that's from Korea and she told me that not all kimchi is the same and to try a different brand. I tried several Brands before I found one that I really liked. Sadly it was almost always out of stock. I decided I was going to try making my own. The first batch I made was too spicy for me so I gave it to my brother who loved it! That led to five or six years of keeping him and I stocked in kimchi. I could not find coarse red chili powder so I used the fine which is why the first batch was so spicy. One third cup of fine is way more than 1/3 cup of coarse. Once I adjusted it, it was way more palatable to me. If you're going to be cutting up the kimchi to eat it, why not start your kimchi out like that? Rather than doing whole half heads, cut it up into pieces. Easier to handle, easier to package, and easier to eat. When I make kimchi I cut the Cabbage up into pieces.

Love that your neighbour helped out. Shows that there are people still out there that like to keep traditions alive and embrace them.

I so wish I was from an Asian country instead of the US. The difference is night and day, and good and evil.

[@cameronjackson4652]

@@Brad5150IKILLPERPS There's good and bad in everything. But to make such a blanket statement is pretty telling about the level of worldly experience you have. America is like a microcosm of the world, it'll have a little bad from everywhere. But the level of depravity outside of America can be much worse than you could ever imagine. You should be thankful that you have the ability to type that statement without worry of repercussions. Be thankful for what you have.

[@davidhandel5894]

Lovely kimchi making skills. Yummy. Hats off!

[@winesap2]

I love that your neighbor just jumps in to help. This seems so typical of other cultures where neighbors know each other and the community does things together. It even sounds like the community makes Kimchi together because she says there's already a lot and she doesn't know why you are doing it alone.

[@annisawidya9976]

Me too, i and kinda hoping you two have meal together when i see that pork Belly, chat and laughter.. must be sweet ending

As an US vet that has been overseas to many other countries and has eaten Kimchi made by Koreans, I’ve always favored the homemade Kimchi by far. I thoroughly enjoyed ur video and respect to ur effort and hard work.

Your life seems to be so peaceful. Hope it is. Glad to see young people living in the countryside. Love the quietness and the fact that neighbors help each others. Love kimchi!

[@Lucidtundra]

It’s peaceful… your life can be like that too

[@aqua235]

My back hurts just watching you and yet I am completely engrossed. Well-done cinematography and nicely edited, I also like that you left in the noises each ingredient makes very satisfying.

[@danarthur771]

im more amazed with how thick his hand palm is, rubbing coarse salts on cabbages 20x without rubber glove 💀💀

[@Ryl325]

This is a top-tier, quality vid. The ASMR, drone shots, and your beautiful home, are the perfect aesthetics for taking us viewers on the arduous yet, satisfying journey of making kimchi. It speaks volumes of your dedication to keeping old traditions alive. Thank you for sharing.

[@mijaumiaumiao]

Please dont stop making these. Theyre so satisfying to watch. Its like watching a movie.

[@hsalawehhsarsay3661]

Loving the kimchi making process, the view of your home, your kind neighbour and your hard work. Everything is beautiful 🥬🌶🏺😍

[@tictactoe325]

What does Kimchi taste like? Is it very hot and spicy?

[@skittles2]

​​​@@tictactoe325 is fermented so expect a little sourness in it. It could be spicy if you're not used to it. In Asian palette, it's a little above spicy for spices in general (e.g. cayenne, black pepper etc.) but for "spicy" category, it's not spicy at all.

[@kanako8froom4livingwithpij57]

his cooked pork looks delicious too!!

[@hdl4259]

I was living for 5 years in Ulsan and Okpo, working on several ship yards. I loved the food and the peoples there. Kimchi is my favorite. Since I am back to Germany, I miss it every day of my stay in Korea. But I am still eating Kimchi.

[@leewannachill]

Please share this video with your family and friends or someone who can't sleep at night 😊 Thanks for watching and leave a comment if you have any questions about Kimchi

waww sekarang aku jadi pengen makan kimchi 🤤

Watching your vid trying to sleep.

[@ElviraSongalla]

I Love kimchi I always bought in supermarket #Tonight please returned it back thanks done share

[@heol9198]

Thanks for the lovely video. I just subb'ed your channel. I make Kimchi every few months in much, much smaller batches. I only brine the Cabbage for a couple hours. I wash it and salt in to each leaf of cabbage and let it sit for two hours, wash it and then make my Kimchi. Is there any golden rules of salting vs. soaking Cabbage in salt water overnight?

[@Stella-ej7he]

How did you know i was watching this instead of sleeping 😂

[@aimeehodgin6359]

This was awesome! I learned to make Kimchi from Ajjuma's in Seoul! I will never forget! I positively made myself aware of how much I did not know being an American over in Seoul, & I went back day after day until a lady knew I was gonna come back. She took me & showed me how to make it! Her teaching me, showed me & I in turn, showed others. Positivity begets positivity!! I will never forget the care & gentleness & the ease & splendor after making the kimchi! Thank you!!!

[@JFStandhope]

When I was a high school student, my roommate was Korean. I used to go to his family's house frequently on the weekends because he lived much closer than my family did. His grandfather made kimchi at least a couple of times a year. Watching this makes me nostalgic!

[@HappyNarrative]

This was a masterpiece from start to finish and gave me a much deeper appreciation for the art of making kimchi. And already having arthritis in my back at 34.

[@ViromalleScentedCandles]

Making kimchi is not for the faint of hearts.. Massive respect to you guys 🙇🙌

[@huldahh444]

This was so beautiful for me, the ASMR is nature like, water flowing, the surrounding is serene, it's peaceful. It's beautiful, to make it even better, the Napa cabbage is beautiful and round, perfectly formed and sized. The entire video is gold 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@vonBelfry]

Does anyone else ADORE the noise of slowly pulling the nappa apart?

[@tarablethoughts]

I've been making kimchi regularly for 4 years and that is my favorite part!!

[@rcantu1204]

Ugh i love Korea 😊 I had the oppertunity to go twice so far in my life and although i didnt get to stay too long or travel too much, what i did get to see was a beautiful culture, AMAZING food 🤤 and wonderful people. The sights were absolutely incredible!! I hope i make it back one day!

this makes my heart full, please keep posting videos like this! my dad and I are inspired by your cooking

[@scchung972]

I enjoyed the video and amazed at the hard work it takes to eat well and be healthy. Growing up in Korea, moms gathered before winter weather to make big batches of kimchi since there was no refrigerator and it had to be stored in the frozen ground. I'm surprised such a big batch is still made with modern appliances and refrigeration.

[@Dr.Sumedha]

Omg. This is the specific content I LOVEEEEEE ❤❤❤ Also, it was so funny when he said he dedicates it to his back 😂 I could totally relate to it even though I make max 3 cabbage batches. It’s so much physical work ☠️

I have started watching Korean YTers and although I am yet to try Kimchi my mouth waters at the thought, I enjoyed this and also your neighbor helping. Warms my hollow heart to see even a touch of community working together.

Only 21 heads of cabbage...😲 I love how your neighbor popped by and then stopped to help! The outdoor cooktop - that is spectacular! 🔥🔥 What an amazing property and scenery.

[@ironmaidyn]

This is so relaxing to watch. And relatable. I’ll be making a huge harvest kimchi at the end of the season and it’ll be exhausting but so worth it. 🙏🏻 I have a 35 L onggi to fill.

[@brianlawson363]

AWESOME, AWESOME video. The first time I was offered kimchi by a friend of mine who had been stationed in Korea with the USAF, I was repulsed. I thought there was NO way any human could eat it. Well, things have changed. There is now always kimchi in my house and it is always on my table at every meal. In fact, the fastest way to lose a hand is to try and take my kimchi, lol. My sincerest appreciation to the nation and people of Korea for giving the world the gift of kimchi.

[@PeacefulSeraph]

I had homemade kimchi from my dad's work friend (my dad told him I loved kimchi & he insisted I try homemade- he was a really sweet guy). I told my dad to tell him that was the best radish I ever had, & my dad thought it was silly I was obsessed over the radish, lol... but it got me lots more kimchi because I recognized the quality of the Korean radish. I'm vegetarian so it's hard to find good ready made kimchi, but gosh, it's amazing having it given to you & know you can tailor it (& it still be delicious). Homemade is best!

I have been a chef all my life and when I visited my homeland I tasted something I can't explain that taste I never forgot when I was a young girl I am audit now I tried to make kimchi I remember what I tasted was better than gold or money but I can't get that taste still make me want to cry because I made 100s of times chasing that one taste I long to taste so bad in and in restaurants in the US but fail over and over for that special kimchi I long to taste that kimchi when I was a young girl in Korea I watched utube all failed me I realized you you have to live in my home town to get the only thing I longed for it and its that if you truly want best kimchi in the world you have to go home.

For me this is reminding me why I need to go back to Korea. Almost think I was a Korean in a past life. Or maybe the food there is a million times better then any comfort food in America. Kimchi or fermented garlic, it all had me falling in love with a culture. To this day I’m still very in love with the culture. And when I go back to Asia I won’t leave!
