I've been on a experimental fermenting kick lately. I don't know where it came from but I'm totally on one right now. I made Napa Cabbage Kimchee, Cucumber Kimchee, Bean Sprout Kimchee and Dill Pickles all within a weeks time. I feel like a little Korean mamasan. Overall the results were too bad. The Napa Cabbage Kimchee came out so yummy but was just WAY too hot. The recipe called for like FOUR cups of the hot pepper flakes. I was really the only one that could handle it and YOWZA, so we will be continuing to experiment on that one. The Bean Sprout Kimchee was yummy, albeit spicy, but not really my forte. The Cucumber Kimchee came out the best. The Dill Pickles were better than store bought (though some of my family claims it tastes more like tsukemono then pickles). And now that I've started fermenting I want to ferment everything. Seriously, what has my life become? :) Recipes and pictures to come in a few days...when I get my life organized.
