Gatkimchi
Gatkimchi is a type of kimchi made by seasoning gat (a type of leaf mustard) with red pepper powder, garlic, and fermented seafood, then fermenting it. It is characterized by its unique spicy and tangy flavor. As fermentation progresses, it develops a sour and deep taste. It can be eaten as a side dish or, when well-fermented, used as an ingredient in stews or stir-fries.
Cultural background
Gatkimchi is particularly consumed in the Jeolla region and is a preserved food made during the kimjang season to be enjoyed over time. Its strong aroma and taste can be polarizing.
