@Silicon Nomad it's more that it's a very unusual type of pickling than it is the spiciness or whatever. Pretty much every non-Korean makes a weird face when they first try it lol, but you get used to it over time. Bokkum kimchi is probably the best way to introduce people to kimchi. Totally smooths out the flavour profile.

I'm mexican American and I got introduced to korean culture by kpop then I got really into kdrama and I always saw the actors eat kimchi at least once in a drama and I really wanted to try it cause it seemed to be a staple korean food and I didnt know that it's so popular that they sell it in my nearest walmart, I went and picked some up, the first thing I remember opening my first jar of kimchi was the smell was so pungent and strong, let me tell you I was scared to try it but I did so anyway and the first thing I thought is this is so sour, I put it back in fridge and thought to myself, well I'm not opening that ever again no sir, no way. Then maybe 2 days later I was hungry, I have food in the house but I didnt want to eat any of that, I remember oh I have kimchi and I gave it another try, let me tell you that second try I'm not sure why I completely and utterly just fell in love with it, and I sometimes eat it straight out of the jar, sometimes kimchi quesadillas are good, kimchi fries( theres a korean Mexican food truck in austin called chi'lantro), other good stuff, my family hates the smell but I love it.

@Kaede I grew up using that word cause all of my family uses it. (I'm from TX, and have family here, in Oklahoma, and Arkansas). They literally ALL say Oriental to describe the people, area, and ideas of East Asia, because it is what they were taught. Oriental Medicine, Oriental people, Oriental rugs, Orient Express, etc. I'm 37 now and didn't have a clue some people considered the word offensive til my best friend heard me say it once and called me out. That was sometime around 5 years ago, so fairly recently, all things considered. I feel like someone should have told me sooner, but I was around other people who also used the word, or just didn't take offense to it. It took me awhile to un-learn it. I'll be the first to admit my older family members might be a little bit racist in other areas, but their use of Oriental is more due to lack of experience/exposure with multiple Asian people and how they feel about the word than actual racism towards Asians.

I know everyone had said it already... But omg... Can I just say that grandma Ok is just too adorable for words?? ♥️♥️

We would add the cabbage with lemon 1 pickle hot sauce black pepper in a small cleaned peanut butter jar wait 1 week and then eat with our soup's,wow!!!! And since 2002 I still make my version of cimchi. My mom thinks I'm crazy. We are Mexican. I love cimchi and feel so blessed and thankful with that man who thought me about cimchi.

I just love Grandma. When she is around food, she's always getting called out for drooling! She knows what's good. Much love

I love how they are so understanding and so polite about other peoples thought of something so familiar and loved to them (: love Korean grandma's, love all grandmas anyway

I don’t get to see my Korean grandmother often, so this was very comforting, thank you🙏

As someone who lives in Korea, when she went "I'm a vegetarian" I immediately got alarmed-- a lot of gimchi is made with fish... I hope they gave her some that's veg. safe!

Vegetarian vs Vegan are two different terms that I see used by many ppl differently. A subset of vegetarians tell me they can eat meat broth, just not meat itself. Other vegetarians tell me they can't. I know many vegetarians will eat eggs, milk, and cheese. So these terms are definitely different for people, depending on who you ask.

My 4 year old eats kimchi every day and gets mad when I run out and have to make more 🤣

I loved that the halmeoni made her own mouth water when talking about different ways to eat Kimchi. I first had it in my twenties when I lived in Hawaii (I made great Bloody Mary cocktails with it), and now, at 62, I still love it. In soup, in rice and egg, in 야채전, on sandwiches....and still, in a (virgin) Bloody Mary. Those women needed open minds and some good steamed rice.

16 ounce jars of Kimchi last only 3 days in my household. My mother and I are OBSESSED. we put it in everything. I loved this video ❤

My mom most likely would have loved kimchi; she adored saurkraut and pickled cucumbers as well

YO me enamoré de Corea gracias al Kimchi, un día en mi hora de.comida, todos los restaurantes estaban llenos y yo debía comer rápido, así que vi un restaurante que estaba vacío y entre, no tenía idea, era un restaurante coreano y no conocia nada, le pregunté al mesero por su recomendación personal, el me recomendó estofado de Kimchi y arroz, así que lo ordene. Y FUE AMOR A PRIMERA VISTA, Ahora desde hace como 4 años trato de ir a comer comida coreanas al menos 2 veces al mes hahahahha, después de probar el kimchi quise conocer el resto de platillos, lo que me llevo de cambiar el viaje de mis sueños (JAPON) A Corea, así que cuando tuve oportunidad, fui a Corea y comí con amigos coreanos que hice allá, auténtica comida coreana, ahora amo Corea mucho más hahahahhaa.

lol the “blunt queen” Mexican mom- my sisters and I were rolling 🤣🤣 Would love to have her as a grandma ❤️🇲🇽😘

When I first tasted kimchi, it reminded me of eating pickles straight out of the jar (which I love as a snack), and also of the Guyanese dish chicken foot souse that I ate when I was a kid at family potlucks. Super vinegar-y and salty, the kind that makes you wrinkle your nose and clears your nasal cavities the first few bites. But so very good and addicting. maan... I want some kimchi rn...

I love your channel so much and your grandma ❤️ I’m Mexican and Colombian and I loveee kimchi. One of my favs

My 5 yrs old and 8 yr old eat kitchen as a snack. They try everything. We were plantbased for 4 yrs and are now pescatarians but they have been eating kitchen for 4 of the last 5 yrs. I first tried kimchi when I went to a Korean restaurant I'm Japan and we put it on EVERYTHING. Burgers, sandwiches, soup, beans and rice, baked potatoes etc. I can't wait to visit Korea. Its like spicy vinegar kraut( or quick kraut).

It's the kind of food you eventually suddenly crave, unexpectedly, after a bad first experience with it. Yeah it tasted bad, but somehow it still tasted like food, and one day it so happens you wanna try it again.

I'm a michigan white white white lady but I love kimchee. But I think its because my grandmother was born in Germany and our family ferments sauerkraut every year for winter eating. And ive put hot sauce on my kraut for years. So of course it was a short hop to kimchee. I don't like it too hot, but when you make it yourself you can control the hot pepper going in. 🥰🥘 🌶

Just when i read the title my mouth was watering 🤤…..I’ve had some and It’s delicious…..thank you for the video…..

To anyone trying Kimchi for the first time, try Kimchi Fried Rice it's so good. When you cook Kimchi it removes some of the strong flavor and makes it easier or gentler to eat.

I love kimchi, I first tried it about three years ago and now always go to the Korean grocery store and buy it regularly now.

I was just thinking "oooh I want some kim chee and rice" when grandma started drooling 🤤😁

Fun fact: Traditional kimchi isn't spicy! The chili peppers so prevalent in Korean cuisine now didn't arrive until the 17th century, and it wasn't until the 1800s that adding them to kimchi became popular. If you want to taste 'original' kimchi, ask for "baek kimchi" (white kimchi) :) There are so many kinds of kimchi!! Even with cabbage kimchi, there are so many different ways it can taste, depending on how old it is. Fresh kimchi is cool and crunchy, older kimchi is fragrant and sour. My favorite seolleungtang restaurant served two different kinds of cabbage kimchi - one was really sour and the other had a hint of sugar. DELISH!!!! My favorite is kimchi jeon, but throwing some kimchi on the grill when you're cooking samgyupsal (that's "Korean BBQ" to you American folk) is mmmmmmmwah! If you are not used to pickled foods, kimchi is definitely an acquired taste!

I have never tried it, but I do like spicy food (within reason). I see kimchi at the grocery store...I think I'll get some and eat it with rice. Grandma is SO adorable, I always miss my older family members this time of year. 👩‍🦳🧡

The gateway to kimchi for American tastes is bulgogi. Start with just a little in a big bite of beef and rice.

Kimbap was how I started eating it. I'm culturally Portuguese, born and raised in the US. So my tastes were more in line with a Mediterranean farmer's diet (my mom's cooking). I think after kimbap I moved onto bibimbap and bulgogi. :)

American kids eat spicy foods, so the spice is typically not a big deal. At first I hated kimchi, then I found out that it's an anti-ager and suddenly I loved it. Lol! Seriously, I have a pickled jar in my refrigerator right now!
