Kimchi as a side dish.


During meat what kind of side dishes do you love? Chili, ginger, cucumber or fish sauce? In general most of Thai food also have side dishes for tasty of meat.

Korea also has one favorite side dishes as well. That is "Kimchi". Most peculiar about Korean cuisine is the way of pickling instead of cooking vegetables. Kimchi also means pickled vegetables and they only specify the preparation if it is other than pickled.

Koreans are likely to eat pickled vegetables every day, commonly for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the cold Korean winter kimchi can last for many months. However, in the tropical Thai climate kimchi should be and is prepared only several days before consumption. The pickling process takes about 12 to 14 hours. Almost all available vegetables can be pickled but the most common in Korea are cabbage, turnip, and cucumber. The seasoning is chili, garlic, onion, ginger, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and salt.

Kimchi is most peculiar to Korean cuisine, it's rather the Korean habit of preparing meat as barbecue (in Korean: bulgogi) that has appealed to a large number of gourmets around the world.

  1. How do Thai people feel about Kimchi? While the dish is somewhat unique to Korean culture -has it been accepted in Thailand? Do you think that Kimchi will be adapted to Thai tastes?
