Kimchi

Kimchi is a fermented vegetable side dish that accompanies almost every Korean meal. There are many different types of Kimchi such as Baechu Kimchi, Baek Kimchi, Oi Sobagi, and etc.

Kimchi was created as a way to preserve vegetables during the winter, and it was stored in jars buried in the ground in the past. I remember going outside to get kimchi from the jar when I was a child, but Koreans use kimchi fridges now, so you don’t need to bury jars on the ground and go to the freezing outside to get some anymore.
