bundangbear looks at the most ubiquitous of korean food items, kimchi, 김치, and its star ingredient, chili peppers, or gochu, 고추. Just how long has the modern kimchi been around? Watch and find out!

Use of Hot Red Pepper Powder

At the earliest stage, kimchi was just salted vegetable, but during the 12th century they saw the appearance of a new type of kimchi with some spices and seasonings, and in the 18th century, hot red pepper finally became one of the major spices for kimchi. In particular, thanks to the introduction of Chinese cabbages in the 19th century, they witnessed the same type of kimchi as we know it today.

  • bleh, Japanese people. Get the hell out of here before we kick your dirty asses.

    일본인들은 조용히 꺼져주세요 ^^

  • Kimchi 맛있는.

    それは辛みだけではなくて、発酵による旨みが複雑に溶け込んでい­て、おいしい。

    Hot chili pepperがchiliから交易路を通って半島へと伝来したこ­とは、古の歴史のロマンを感じる。

    Not only kimchi, Korean food culture has more things.

    호떡(ホトク,Hotteok) also yummy and sweet ^_^

  • Nice nice, i''ve been eating kimchi for 15 year without knowing it. It's like wine. The older the better, but if too much time passes it gets too strong for my taste.

  • 감사합니다! Thanks! Yeah, I must be doing something right; you've noticed my "antifans," too!

  • i guess as a korean i never thought about the history of kimchi.. it was just something thats always been and always will be on every meal everyday. pretty cool though, think i might wikipedia that
