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

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.

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.

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.

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

콜라비 깍두기 Kohlrabi Kkakdugi
b. July 8, 2025
Made with 산딸기 (san ddalgi) raspberries handpicked^^ by Willa and Jung-a from @thunderroadfarm in Arlee, MT.
Radishes are usually the main star of this kind of kimchi, but Jung-a's found kohlrabi offers a real similar taste.
You say her name sounds like a superhero, but that's because that's who she is, a superhero kimchi who saves you from eating things you don't want to eat : ) made by superheroes.
And who were these fine chopping superheroes? dunduhduhdunnnn Willa, Hana and Jung-a. Thank goodness for community and friends! We chopped our way through 35 lbs of those kohlrabi in a little over an hour!

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.
