About Recipe

A short story about how I came to love kimchi, and finally learned how to ferment it myself so that when I move out of my apartment, I won't have to call my Korean roommate once a week to ask her how to make it. It got to the point that I was really, really digging this kimchi stuff. I was eating it plain, mixed into eggs, and in my very favorite Korean recipe ever, the kimchi pancake. This week marked a milestone: for the first time, I bought my own jar of kimchi. I brought it home and sat there staring at the jar, with the lid bulging from the pressure inside. Honestly, I was a little concerned about opening it. I poked at the jar until Eun-ji came home, because I had no idea what to do with it.
