Napa Cabbage Kimchi

배추김치
baechu-gimchi

Kimchi made by fermenting salted napa cabbage with ingredients such as chili powder, garlic, and seafood sauce. As fermentation progresses, it becomes more sour and umami-rich, changing from a crunchy texture to a softer one. It can be eaten as a side dish or used as an ingredient in stews and stir-fries.
