I just wanted to make a general comment on your Napa cabbage kimchi recipe. I finally got the ingredients together and followed the recipe to a T. The only problem I have with it, the kimchi is so delicious while it's fresh, it's hard to leave any to ferment! Next time I will have to make a double batch.
Thank you very much for all your recipes and for sharing your love of fermented vegetables.
I'm going to try the green plums. Do they need to be Korean plums or can I pick green plums from a tree here. I also want to try the spicy fish recipe.
You need to find maesil at a large Korean grocery store. Maesil is a type of fruit, commonly known as green plums or Japanese apricots. However, it's not exactly the same as the plums we are familiar with. Its season is short, typically in May or June. https://www.maangchi.com/ingredient/maesil
Maesil is often used in Korean cuisine to make maesil-cheong (plum syrup) or maesil-ju (plum wine). The fruit is known for its tart flavor and is valued for its potential health benefits, such as aiding digestion, relieving fatigue, and acting as a natural detoxifier. Additionally, maesil contains organic acids and antioxidants, which contribute to its health-promoting properties.
Thank you that clears things up. I'll have to wait on that one, however, I made the pickled garlic recipe last year. I'm going to try it next year. I want to see how it taste then. Thank you again
