#kimchi

The savory, spicy, and tangy dish that we know as kimchi originated in Korea as a means to preserve vegetables during the winter months. Rather than a specific dish, kimchi can be better defined as a practice of preservation centering around fermenting various ingredients - typically some type of vegetable. There are more than 300 different types of kimchi: spicy kimchis made from Napa cabbage, white ones made from radish, crisp versions that feature cucumbers, and even green ones made from mustard leaves.
