Kimchi Craving

A couple years ago, I visited a dear friend in South Korea and was formally introduced to Kimchi as well as to an array of other hugely delicious Korean foods.



Right now, I have an intense craving for kimchi, which is essentially fermented cabbage. I'll be the first to admit that it sounds and, in most instances looks, unpalatable, but it's truly fantastic. Supposedly kimchi is readily available in most mainstream grocery stores but I find pre-made, mass-produced kimchi sketchy (which is silly seeing as I am more than willing to eat other pickled foods from grocery stores). So I'm entertaining the idea of perhaps making my own. Tastespotting has many recipes to choose from.
