손Sohn-Made Kimchi김치
This Week's Batches
It's time to cabbage roll to the summer/fall markets @ the XXXs and the Clark Fork Market (yep, Jung-a's is at both this year!) or order your kimchi for home delivery. Jung-a's is offering several batches of 배추김치 baechu kimchi (non-vegan) as well as some smaller batches, including a 깍두기 kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi, non-vegan), and a chonggak kimchi (radish with full leaf kimchi).
If you are interested in bulk orders, please email jungaskitchen@gmail.com

콜라비 깍두기 Kohlrabi Kkakdugi
b. Aug 7, 2025
Queen of the night (월하미인, wolhami-in) is a cactus whose flwrs open up when the night blooms and then wilt before dawn. She originally comes from the rainforests of Central and South America and arrived to India, Southeast Asia and East Asia through colonial trade routes in the 1700s-1800s. And so to this day, you can find her in Korea as well.
Kwin are the little red cubes planted here and there on this egg/seaweed pizza. This kkakdugi was made at night after finishing making Orchid. 퀸 Kwin is the slang word for queen in Korean. She a 퀸 kwin with a bold burst of flavor, YAS KWIN!
Jung-a's has been on an egg pizza (w/ rice wrappers) kick for several weeks now. They are 정말 맛있는 jeongmal mashineun

배추김치 Baechu Kimchi
b. Aug. 6, 2025
Growing up we had these big white orchids in the living room (they probably weren't real). They are one of Jung-a's omma's favorite flwrs.
엄마 생각을 많이 하고 있어요. 이거 엄마 드리려고 해요
Usually the baechu kimchis come out to market a little over a week after being born, but Jung-a has been really wanting to share what she's like when she's younger. So Orchid was at the market the same week she was made.

배추김치 Baechu Kimchi
b. July 16, 2025
Jung-a is working on letting go a little more in the kitchen, developing her 손맛 sohnmat and beginning to really understand what it means. 손맛 sohnmat is really about an experience, an experience of eating, an experience of making food. You really know how to make food without too much thinking; it's more about feeling, bringing together all your senses, putting in all your care. It's the kind of food that you eat and you can feel it alive in all your cells. Sohnmat gets you closer to foods you are with, rooted in your senses and memory.
With smaller amounts it is easier to let go more, a little bit of this, a little bit of that. However, when she makes larger batches, she tends to rely on ratios and weighing ingredients. this time, she told herself you know how to make this kimchi.
And here she is, Flow, a baechu moon pop love of ours

총각김치 Chonggak Kimchi
b. July 23, 2025
She's a 총각김치 chonggak kimchi made with red radishes instead of chonggak radishes, which we can't get here (at least just yet). They're these big white bulby radishes with long green tops. Chonggak means bachelor in Korean - in the past young boys used to wear their hair in ponytails and so this kimchi comes with the long green tails.
Guaya comes from guayaba, the word for guavas in Spanish. Jung-a loves this little fruit, those round little yellowish green bulbs.

Batches arrive, and then they eventually leave. Once a batch is done, she cycles through our bellies, releases through our excrements and then goes back into the dirt and water.
