Today, after church, my daughter and I stopped by the local grocery store to purchase a few items I needed to make my kimchi.
I didn’t need much since I had most of the items at home. I purchased 15 pounds of carrots from the store (not all was being used for kimchi). I also juice with carrots.
We went home, and after our meal, I immediately started prepping my kimchi. The cabbage, leeks, radish and peppers all came from the garden. As soon as I’d packed everything in their containers, my daughter said… “Eww, what’s that smell!” I said, “kimchi!”
The only thing left to do is wait for it to cure. I most likely will sample it in about three days, but looking to let it ripen for seven days before I transport it into the refrigerator.
Were you able to find a good deal on the carrots? Prices haven’t been very friendly in stores lately but the produce stands and farmers markets have been ok. Oddly I haven’t seen as many carrots as I have in the past, tho! Perhaps everyone is beating me to it!

@Jennifer, I’d say the carrots were about the average I pay around here. I paid a little over $16 with tax.

No, thank you, not for me, please. My missus loves kimchi and kimchi fried rice seems to be very popular. Never tried it though.

@suituapui, lol… when I find a recipe I like, I’ll prepare it in the traditional way putting it into the ground and letting it cure. 😉
