Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish that is as delicious as it is spicy. This extremely popular and ancient food (dating back to the 7th century) is also rumored to have medicinal properties. We visited Hongbeopsa temple to uncover the secrets of Kimchi and learn to make some for ourselves.
The inside of the temple is pretty impressive.
We had great instructors. You can also see the Monk who runs the temple in the background. The secret ingredients to making Kimchi are: Chinese cabbage, garlic, red pepper, spring onions, ginger, salt, and probably some other stuff too!
But, the real secret of making Kimchi is to have fun! Ha ha. Here I am with Adrienne and Amanda.
Kimchi is fermented underground to unlock the magic.
Here are some big kimchi pots used to preserve kimchi. We left home for the day with enough kimchi to eat for a year.
