Water Kimchi

[Hammster]

I received Kimchi Chronicles for Christmas and I made water kimchi as my first recipe from it. I put it together yesterday and it needs a few days to ferment, so I'm planning to try it on Thursday. I'll report back how we like it.
Contains napa cabbage, daikon, asian pear, scallions, garlic, salt, sugar, water.

Do you want to receive more freshening taste than at crude kimchi?

[Hammster]

I'm not certain what you are asking? I like kimchi.

He is wondering if you need help with storing it, or if you want to rinse it. He's using Google Translator.

ahhh, hammster!! your lovely jar of kimchi brings back fond memories of an authentic korean kimchi that a friend of mine made--sooo HOT my eyes sprung instant tears when i ate it. it also took my breath away--all very worth it, great stuff!! i've recently been watching the kimchi chronicles too, which i thoroughly enjoy, though it makes me soo hungry every time....

That's a beautiful jar!

My partner is of Korean descent so we eat Kimchi all the time. Including fir breakfast. I've made it a few times but it's not nearly as good as what the family makes.

Water kimchi is a terrific summer dish; we prefer the spicy stuff.

Kimchi chronicles is a great show. Korean food is simple, delicious and vastly overlooked.

Ok, I can almost see the part about rinsing it, but I don't see the part about needing help storing it.
However, the answer is no to both. Although I'll be glad to share some on Thursday.

I wonder if babelfish might be a better translator?

Here is one I made awhile back.

the google translator, whatever that is, is woefully inadequate as a tool to facilitate communication, at least in this forum. instead, what i am seeing is repeated misunderstandings and unintentional insults. this google method should be discontinued immediately and reevaluated....

I certainly took no insult from Izghoga's comment, but I did misunderstand it for sure and was looking for clarification. And, I hope I didn't insult anyone with my response to Dawgluver's comment.
