Really? What was disgusting about it? [/ QUOTE ] He did it wrong somehow and it just tasted awful. Also he made a ton so there was a bunch of awful kimchi sitting around for a while.

Re: KIm Chee
From what people in this thread have been saying, there does seem to be a bit of an art to it. It would be kind of cool to learn, though. Not sure if I'll get around to it, but it does sound like it could be a fun experiment. And if it comes out nasty, it's just cabbage, so no great loss throwing it away. Maybe I'll just try making a small amount at some point. I loved pickled stuff, and had great success pickling mangos and papayas. Kimchi does sound more complicated though.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I'm bumping into some recipes on the net, but they say let it sit for 2 days or so. I thought you were supposed to let it sit for a lot longer than that. Does anyone know if just a couple days is enough? [/ QUOTE ] 2 days and it tastes overwhelmingly cabbage-y and predominantly salty. The longer it sits the tangier it gets. When my mom would make it in the fall it would last the rest of the year. When I said she made tubs of it, I mean tubs. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks. Maybe I should try making it. If she could make tubs, obviously she didn't have to store it all in the fridge, so maybe I could keep the extras somewhere out of the way without devoting an huge portion of fridge space just to kimchi. The ingredients are super cheap, which is cool, too. I've never had kimchi as anything but a side dish, that I can recall. I'd like to check out its use in soups, etc. The Hawaiian dude above who suggested using it on hamburgers made me want to try that too. I'm from Hawaii and that's where I first started eating it, but never tried that. [/ QUOTE ] We had a second fridge in the garage that was devoted, almost exclusively, to holding kimchee. Now she just buys it because the store bought version is vastly improved compared to 20 years ago. So the second fridge has turned into a Costco nightmare.

How come some people store it in the fridge and some bury it in the backyard or whatever? [/ QUOTE ] It's the difference between people from Seoul and people from the country. I think.

[/ QUOTE ] i'm guessing that it's the difference between having an extra fridge and not having an extra fridge.

Re: KIm Chee
No grill - maybe we should do it at Boris'. We won't even tell him about it.
