Hello everyone, trust we're all doing good?
It's my first time here, and I must say that I'm glad to do this and I do hope to have fun.
Korean is a culture I admire so well and that's one of the reasons I watch K-dramas alot. I love the way of life of the people, the language, food (though I haven't tasted any) but from what I see, I think it tastes so good, and almost everything about them, including their respect for culture.
If I was to learn a Korean tradition, it will definitely be how to make Kimchi. You know, as someone who loves to experiment with new recipes, learning how to prepare kimchi will sure be an exciting and fascinating experience.
There's something emblematic about the food Kimchi, it sets Korean cuisines apart from others in world.
Kimchi as we all know is the Korean name for preserved vegetables seasoned with spices and fermented seafood. It forms an essential part of Korean meals...
I would love to learn how to make kimchi because it's more than just a food, it's a cultural expression and a symbol of Koreans identity. From what I've seen about the process of preparing Kimchi, it teaches patience and respect for tradition.
It's so magical how simple ingredients like cabbage, radish, garlic can be turned into something special that's rich in flavour. I remember a Korean movie I watched where each family had it's own recipe and it's passed through generations. This alone shows how rooted the tradition is.
The impact of kimchi in Korean society is powerful and remarkable. It's not only a staple food, it is also a fierce that unites.
During Kimjang festival
(that is the annual kimchi making season), families and neighbours come together to prepare large quantities of kimchi, sharing laughter and happiness.
This particular tradition represents community cooperation and cultural pride.
Beyond the cultural significance behind kimchi, it promotes good health with it's abundance of vitamins, probiotics, and antioxidants that helps fight xenobiotics in the body. It's a tradition I'd love to learn because of its symbol of unity.
