For the main class in salt, try to make kimchi
It turned out that SU Jin wasn’t completely hiding it. It uses a 200mm paper cup as something like a measuring device from time to time to keep it in a balpark, and then refine it from there, tasting.
While in the cabbage salad dripped into the sink, it was pureed onion, ginger, garlic, apple and Korean radishes with Dasima broth (dried algae), which was strengthened with dried shrimp and Paullak’s dried head.
At this point, she put on a pair of gloves, a step that no one who will later use her hands to touch other sensitive parts of the body should not skip. She grabbed Gochugaru, poured it on a Korean radish bowl, cut into matches, added 150 milliliters of fish sauce, then a large spoon of Saueo-Sol and salt before taking a tiny bite. Next, she threw 30-sided neighborhood flakes and was stirred before splitting the mixture into three bowls, one for each cabbage head.
Each cabbage leaf caught the attention, a drop of paste spread on each, before the soft, leaf end of each quarter be folded down and the whole thing is carefully smeared inside the most outer leaf. As my daughter -in -law translated, Su Gin did not turn directly to me all the time when I was there, but here she turned to me and deposited a spicy, garlic cabbage leaf rolls into dumplings with the size of bites, directly in my mouth with her still power glove, then did one for himself. Our noses were running out and our eyes were wide. It was harsh, but well. I was glad that I had this taste, a guide before salt, germs and time began to take their thing seriously.
And there, since the salt sweat of my scalp beads was my answer: taste as you walk. Whether they taught them their families or something they had taken on television, or both of my Korean leaders did not fly blind. The scents they created during Kimchi’s manufacture were strong, sometimes exceptionally, but by tasting along the way, they can confirm where they were on the map and know if they were heading in the right direction or needed to be the right one. If she was tasting especially salty in an early step, they could give up a little later and know that the aromas would soften and change when they were fermented.
Back at home in Seattle, I made batches using recipes from reliable sources such as Eric Kim and Deuki hongS I was not the moment I could really hide it – really from him – but I tasted as I went and learned these indicative scents and I could imagine to get there one day.
