@ahnestkitchen: Cilantro kimchi. This recipe holds a meaningful significance, as it originates from North Korea. Given that North Korea’s culinary history is not widely known, this recipe offers a rare glimpse into their food culture. In this video, we explore both the Chinese influences on North Korean cuisine and the polarizing preferences for cilantro between North and South Koreans, esp. within my mom’s generation. (Younger generations are much more open to cilantro, and there’s a growing appreciation for this herb now). This is one of Umma’s favorite recipe in the book — a very special, rare recipe we cherish. Full recipe + stories can be found in our cookbook, UMMA, at the link in our bio. Ingredients: Korean radish sugar gochugaru distilled white vinegar maesil cheong (plum extract syrup) fish sauce minced garlic fine salt sesame seeds, toasted cilantro sprigs #kimchi #cilantro #EasyRecipes #northkorea #koreanmom #umma #koreanfood

Kind of related question. I bought kimchi from target today and I opened and it release ALOT of gas. So much the kimchi started bubbling out. Does this mean it wasn’t sealed right and it’s bad or…..

The way people taste cilantro is actually genetic! 🧬 It’s on my ancestry DNA profile 😁

Maybe a lot of Koreans have a certain gene that makes them able to detect a that flavor in cilantro. Not everyone has it but It’s so interesting.

Koreans who were forced to settle in Siberia made kimchi with carrots and onions as they had no napa cabbage. Cultural foods survive today in many delicious forms.

🙃 fun fact a lot of people of Asian decent have the “soap gene” we call it when it comes to cilantro ! They think it tastes like soap ! So makeup makes sense too !
