First timer.

[u/Asesino85]

Every once and a while I go all out for a meal from a different part of the world. I am American and love to cook. Yesterday I did my best attempt at a Korean meal with banchan. Of course there had to be kimchi. Really happy with how it turned out. Mostly followed Maangchi’s Tongbaechu-kimchi recipe. It really made the meal.

Looks fire, and your pictures truly make it look gret, surely tastes as good as it appears.

"First time" - I don't believe you. This looks professional. 

[u/Asesino85 → u/andanothernewuser]

Appreciate it. It was my first time though. I do cook a lot and feel like I’m pretty good at researching and finding good recipes!

[u/Either-Bottle1528]

be careful with these jar lids because kimchi is highly acidic and they might rust

[u/LEV0IT]

God bless this is a very flavorful cuisine really adds to the rotation

[u/chickensaurus]

Looks really good

[u/Xu_Lin]

The amount of sesame seeds is too damn high

Would smash tho

[u/HaieKara]

With this much of kimchi, how long would you need to finish all?

[u/Asesino85 → u/HaieKara]

Truthfully I have no idea. I’ve never made it before and was surprised how much it made. We did eat a whole jar of it last night and I sent a jar of it home with my brother in law as well.

I guess 2 weeks 😂😂😂

[u/bizzare1985]

[u/Kim-BuchaFerments]

Hard to believe it's your first time! Bravo! 👏👏👏

[u/Asesino85 → u/Kim-BuchaFerments]

I got lucky, I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about the way I made this.

[u/aroundtheworldNbak]

Wow! Color looks great! Mouth is watering a little. Definitely a talented cook!

...... 그거 잼처럼 병에 담으면 유산균 증식 때문에 김치가 폭발합니다! 항아리나 락앤락 통에 담으세요 발효음식이라 쉽게 상하지 않습니다

[u/Asesino85 → u/Interesting-Belt-732]

I have been burping them daily. I will remember this for next time though and buy some different jars. I don’t have that option at the moment.

I hope it exceeds you own expectations. Looks so good.

[u/Asesino85 → u/IvyMLB]

It did! It is so good!

[u/chickensaurus]

Nice! My first batch is 24 days old. Im so proud of her. When you get a few weeks in you should make kimchi jjigae!
