It’s a huge honour for a country to create a food that goes global, a dish or ingredient that other cultures pick up and begin using as their own. The great food nations of the world have all done it. And for South Korea, it’s kimchi. You probably know this spicy, sour, fermented dish in its most popular form, made with napa cabbage.
However, kimchi encompasses a wide range of salted, fermented vegetables, everything from Korean radishes to burdock roots, cucumber, eggplant, mustard greens, soybean sprouts and bamboo shoots.
