[Homemade] Vegetarian Kimchi

It took me a while to gather all the ingredients but it turned out soo good. The container was empty in a week. Please don’t mind the slightly wonky picture.

Looks delicious!

Is kimchi not usually vegetarian?

Kimchi is typically made with fermented shrimp paste

No it’s mostly uses a base that has either fish sauce/oyster sauce/shrimp paste/anchovies etc. I’m not Korean but I have made Kimchi a lot of times and I’ve noticed that every family/bloggers have a different version of Kimchi. So it’s a very versatile dish and takes a couple of tries to get it right based on your preferences.

Is it as spicy as it looks?

It has two components that bring the bright red color. One of them is Gochujang- a fermented chilli paste which is not at all spicy but has a strong umami flavour. The second one is gochugaru- red chilli flakes which are pretty spicy. If you’re trying to make Kimchi you can totally skip it.

If you get to try Kimchi at a restaurant it’s probably not too spicy and mellow.

The Korean resto I order from is extremely spicy... I love it though
