Hummm
배추김치 Baechu Kimchi
b. Nov. 27, 2024
She's Jung-a's last 배추김치 baechu (napa cabbage) kimchi of 2024. There's no more local 배추 baechu.
The day Jung-a was making her she was listening to these songs and all she could focus on were the echos of the notes and how they passed through her body, moving continuously, rowing on, maybe like bubbles blowing, that thing that drones on and on in a mesmerizing kind of way, and all the sound stacks, underneath, above.
If a word kept rowing on, what word would that be?
hummmmm was the closest to describing these sounds. There are so many of them.
How does it feel to make a sound?
non-vegan: made with saeujeot, fermented salted shrimp

Here's Lil Shrimp. She was named by Willa, a splendid volunteer who helped with jarring.
새우젓 saeujeot (fermented shrimp) has been hard to get up here lately. so Jung-a asked her 이모 emo (aunt) if she could help with this 새우 비상 lil shrimp emergency. She lives in Houston, Texas, where they're home to H-mart. And with her expert packing skills due to her big 이모 emo muscles, she sent them up north. 이모 정말 감사합니다 Thanks so much emo!

시원해 Shiwonae

동치미 Dongchimi
b. Nov. 12, 2024
Dongchimis were traditionally made right before winter. The broth the radishes are floating in can be used for a dish called mul 물냉면naengmyeon, noodles in a little sweet and savory cold broth. you can also enjoy this kind of kimchi with a steamed sweet potato/yam, rice and rice cakes.
Jung-a's dad used to call her shiwonae, especially when wearing some shades. In Korean it means cool, cool in character and cool in temperature.
Thanks to the
무 (mu) daikon and watermelon radish (Coyote Smile Farm)
고추 (gochu) anaheim and jalapeño peppers (Harlequin Produce
꿀 (kkul) honey (Hindu Hillbilly Honey)
양파 (yangpa) onions (local from the Good Food Store. The name of the farm will remain a mystery)
No fish/seafood products

Ro-sa-lee-ya
청경채 김치 cheong-gyung chae (bok choy) kimchi
Born: Sept. 10, 2024
Ro-sa-lee-ya
(how she would be said in 한글말 hangeulmal) after the singer Rosalia. Her power within the music she makes, a cabbage kiss (mwac, the sound of a person kissing a cabbage). Inspired by maesil, a Korean plum extract, Ro-sa is made with a special ingredient and one of Jung-a's favorites to add to kimchis, plums. She's not a typical traditional kimchi you would find.

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.
