One of Korea's most traditional and representative foods is kimchi. Kimchi is made by salting cabbage, and adding red-pepper powder, garlic, ginger, scallions and radishes. These nutritious foods are mixed and allowed to ferment in order to create what we know as kimchi. The Korean people enjoy this representative side dish, which is well-known for its spicy flavor, with rice. Varying in types depending on the season and location, kimchi offers ingredients rich in vitamin C, Calcium, lactic bacterium and many other nutritious substances. Some of the food made with kimchi include: kimchi-jjigae(stew), kimchi-guk(soup), kimchi-jeon(a Korean style pancake), and kimchi fried rice.
