Trang chủKimchi – An Intangible Cultural Heritage. It’s no coincidence that South Korea is called the “Land of Kimchi.” Kimchi is not just a dish; it’s a national symbol. The process of making kimchi (Kimjang) has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This is the time when members of the community gather together to prepare hundreds of heads of pickled napa cabbage to use throughout the long winter.
The power of fermented seasonings in Korean cuisine: Besides kimchi, three base sauces (Jang) are core to the delicious flavor of Korean food:
-
Gochujang (Chili paste): The spicy kick combined with the sweetness from fermented glutinous rice makes it an indispensable ingredient in Bibimbap, or spicy rice cakes.
-
Doenjang (Soybean paste): Made from fermented soybeans, it contains a high amount of protein and has a rich flavor similar to miso, but stronger and more intense.
-
Ganjang (Soy Sauce): Formed during the soybean paste-making process, Korean soy sauce has a light texture and distinctive aroma, used to season soups and salads.
Timeless Health Values: Modern scientific studies have proven that Korean fermented foods offer antioxidant benefits, support weight loss, and even help prevent certain cancers. Therefore, Korean food is gradually becoming a top choice for those pursuing a healthy lifestyle (Wellness).
