< 봄캐롯의 친구 만들어 볼까요? >_ I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT ‘KIM-CHI’

                     HOW CAN WE EAT IF THERE IS NO KIMCHI?

      IT IS NOT ENOUGH EVEN IF ALL THE TASTY GOOD THINGS FROM      

             THE  MOUNTAIN AND THE SEA TRYING TO CHASE ME.

                          I CAN’T CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT KIMCHI!

                          I CAN’T FORGET ABOUT YOU! KIMCHI!

There is a Korean song ‘I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT KIMCHI’. and today is a day BOM CARROT misses KOREAN TRADITIONAL FOOD ‘KIMCHI’ very much! I am going to hum this song till I finish making the missing KIMCHI!

Nay, Nay. Please check this link If you are curious about the KIM CHI SONG _ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byn7XJkM5rU&feature=share

Ingredient _ RADDISH(korean:moo)/ Half of wine glass of CHILLI POWDER(korean:gochu-garu)/ One whole GARLIC(korean:manul)/ GINSENG size of your thumb(korean:seng-gang)/ Two spoon of SUGAR(korean:seol-tang)/ Two spoon of FLOUR(korean:mil-garu)/ Half of water cup of good good SOY SAUCE(korean:gan-jang)/ SESAME SEED(cham-ggae) as much you like. But I prepared million!  

ARE YOU READY, PRETTY RADDISH?

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A ‘GGAG-DU-GI’ KIMCHI. GENERAL KIMCHI IS MADE WITH NAPA CABBAGE AND THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF KIMCHI.

BUT TODAY BOM CARROT WANTS ‘GGAG-DU-GI’!

PLEASE PEEL THE RADDISH.

AND CUT IT LIKE A TINY CUBE! LIKE GRANDFATHER FAVOURITE SUGAR SHAPE!

OH! WELL DONE.

FROM NOW ON, RADDISH NEEDS TO TAKE A SHOWER WITH SALT. PUT MILLION SALT IN THE RADDISH BATH POOL AND SHAKE SHAKE IT1 (Please don’t be afraid of million salt because we will wash it later). SO SALT CAN PERMEATE TO THE RADDISH!

WHILE THE RADDISH IS HAVING A LOVELY SALTY BATH, WE CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE ELSE! JA, WE NEED TO MAKE THE ‘PUL’ WHICH LOOKS LIKE VERY LIGHT PORRIDGE.

FILL THE POT WITH ONE BIG CUP OF WATER GLASS AND ADD TWO TEA SPOONS OF FLOUR AND BOIL FOR 5 MINUTES PLEASE!

SEE? But! ALTHOUGH IT IS READY, WE CAN’T USE IT FOR KIMCHI YET. PUT THIS ‘PUL’ IN THE FREEZER TO COOL DOWN FOR 5 MINUTES.

RIGHTO! LET’S MAKE KIMCHI SAUCE.

PEEL WHOLE GARLIC AND GINGER PLEASE.

TAKE OUT THE ‘PUL’ FROM THE FREEZER.

ADD THE ‘PUL’ AND A HALF WINE GLASS OF CHILLI POWDER AND THE WHOLE GARLIC, GINGER, TWO TEASPOONS OF SUGAR, HALF A SMALL GLASS OF GOOD GOOD SOY SAUCE: (I brought my family secret and historical soy sauce here! You can buy that secret from me for a million dollars!) IN ONE BOWL.

GRIND EVERYTHING TOGETHER UNTIL IT TURNS TO A BEAUTIFUL RED COLOUR. NOW THE KIMCHI SAUCE IS READY!

<Normally Koreans add several types of FISH SAUCE as well. But I am making vegan KIMCHI. If you are not a vegan, you can add some fish juice.             Taste better!>

WAKE UP, MY FRIEND RADDISH. WASH RADDISH WITH WATER. AND REMOVE THE WATER FROM IT PLEASE.

MIX RADDISH AND KIMCHI SAUCE PLEASE! MIX MIX UNTIL IT TURN TO THE COLOUR LIKE A LIVE VOLCANO. AND ADD SESAME SEED AS MUCH AS YOU WISH AND MIX IT ONE MORE TIME!

HERE IT IS! YOUR THE FIRST TRADITIONAL KOREAN FOOD ‘GGAG-DU-GI’ KIMCHI IS READY!

JAL-MUL-GET-SUMNIDA (korean:Thank you for the meal, I will enjoy)

the saddest part about going back to brazil in 2015: I won't be able to find half of the goods at a reasonable price

I am going to kill who tampered with fire alarm at 5am and forced us to go out of our rooms at this fog
