Do you guys eat kimchi? Some might, some might not. Some might probably never heard of it. Kimchi is a Korean side dish made from fermented cabbage (mostly). You can buy or make one yourself. If you buy one, then you can probably know that it can be a bit pricey for something so little.
So the plan for day is making kimchi. It's cheaper and I can have more than store bought.
I would need napa cabbage, onion, carrot, spring onion, fish sauce, pepper powder, ginger, garlic and sugar. Salt is only needed for the first step on preparing the cabbages. Of course my ingredients cater to my taste instead of following the original.
Out of all the ingredients, I only need to buy napa cabbage and pepper flakes. I think the veggie stall is open so I would head there later.

@prinzcy Here, only my husband and I will eat it. And sadly we can't handle spices and salt too much like we used to, so we cannot eat a lot of it. So a small jar is good for us. I don't think our regular grocery stores carry kim chi, although health food stores actually carry it (and there it is expensive). Do you make it in a big, big, jar?

I've tried kimchi once and liked it. A friend made it and served it with our meal. (I was a little worried about eating it because it didn't smell as good as the rest of the food, but yeah, I'd eat it again.)

@prinzcy The others ate it with rice... but my friend knew I couldn't eat rice so she put it with mashed potatoes.

@DaddyEvil oh, kimchi with mashed potatoes. I guess that works too. Some Korean restaurant here would serve kimchi with noodles if we ask for it.

I tried it once but it is very spicy for me so do not eat it.

@prinzcy I tried it at a restaurant and also got it from the store. In each case, I could not do anything about the spice level.

It's often cheeper to make home made instead of buying things outright.

I have heard of this dish, but was not sure what was in it.
My hubby loves cabbage rolls, here we will take the leaves and boil them, then put a mixture of ground beef and rice into the leaf and fold it up. Then it is baked with a little tomato sauce over it. They are alot of work, but they freeze well so you can do up alot and freeze them.

We sell a lot of it in a small jar but I never know what it was before although I was curious. I'll have to ask if those are the ingredients or mainly the sauce used possibly. Maybe I'll buy some sometime to try it out

I've heard of it but I've never tried it. It sounds very healthy though.
