    I wanted to make kimchi, so far didn’t have time, made only fermented cabbage 10 liters but there was an asian shop, actually 2 next to each other, in Cork in Ireland, so I bought there everything I needed, but now is gone, I was so disappointed, because here in Brittany there’s non.

    Do you use little crevettes as well?

      I skipped the little prawns. My recipe called them ‘optional’.

    I just mentioned Kimchi on another post, but I eat eat almost everyday now. The one I eat is very mild and no shrimp so not sure how I’d do with other kimchi.

    Anyway, this looks good. What are the side dishes?

      From left to right: Beansprouts with sesame & garlic, seasoned garlic stems and cucumber kimchi (on the same plate) and honey and soy Lotus roots.

    I always have a batch of pickled radish in my refrigerator, usually have some sort of cucumber side dish, and whenever I can find bean sprouts (which are shocking difficult to find here because the grocery stores are afraid of salmonella and listeria) I make them with sesame oil and garlic. Korean side dishes are lovely.

    Feel free to share your kimchi, I haven’t tried making it yet.

      yeah the bean sprouts came with a huge ‘MUST NOT BE EATEN RAW’ warning label.

      I’ve written a full TotM post about the miracle of side dishes.
