These are the 5 kimchi that Koreans enjoy the most. Let's enjoy it together.
1. 배추김치 Whole Cabbage Kimchi
Whole Cabbage Kimchi is made by stuffing julienned radishes, gochut-garu (red chili pepper powder), green onions, garlic and jeotgal (fish sauce) between whole cabbage leaves preserved in salt.
Kimchi is Korea’s most famous food and is an essential food item on the table at almost every meal. Korea’s gimjang culture, which refers to the culture in which a huge amount of kimchi is prepared for the cold winter, was designated a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2013.
Whole-cabbage kimchi is the most common type of kimchi in Korea and the most common item preserved during gimjang. There are different regional characteristics in the types of jeotgal (fish sauce) and seasonings used to make kimchi.
2. 맛김치 (Sliced Kimchi)
Sliced Kimchi is made by slicing radishes into one-inch squares, brining them in salt and seasoning them with a generous amount of spring onions, garlic and gochut-garu (red chili pepper powder).
This dish is also called seokbakji because it is made by mixing radishes and napa cabbage. Instead of being stored for a long time, it is prepared and served as needed.
3. 총각김치 (Young Radish Kimchi)Salted Altarimu (whole young radish) is mixed with red chili pepper powder and various seasonings. Chonggakmu refers to the type of radish with very small root in comparison to normal radish with large green leaves.
4. 깍두기 (Diced Radish Kimchi)Cubed, bite sized radish seasoned with red chili powder and salted and fermented shrimp.
Kkakdugi is a required side dish for seolleongtang (ox bone soup).
5. 갓김치 (Mustard Kimchi)Leaf mustard mixed with salted seafood juice and a variety of seasonings. Enjoyed widely in Jeolla Province, gatkimchi made with leaf mustard grown in Dolsan, Yeosu, is especially popular. This kimchi has a unique pungent and spicy taste.
