A brief history...
Sour and spicy, the perfect batch of kimchi is made of pickled cabbage presevered in a selectionof mouthwatering spices. First mentioned in the Xin Nan Shan poem years ago, presevered vegatables are extremely common in Asia because it allows people to enjoy vitamin-rich diets when fresh vegetables aren't avaliable. Kimchi has been a staple in the Korean diet and is crowned as Korea's National Dish. The Japanese Invasion from 1592-1598, gave the traditionally sour kimchi a spicy twist with the introduction of red chilli from Europe.
According to American President, Lyndon B. Johnson, Kimchi "is vital to the moral of Korean troops". This is also reflected by the Korean astronaut, Yi So-Yeon, whose team spent tremendous abouts of time killing bacteria in the Kimchi so he can bring it to the space station. With more than 184 varieities, the recipe is only growing through its fusion with other recipes
