Gwangju World Kimchi Culture Festival

Each fall Gwangju hosts the Kimchi Festival which celebrates Korea's national food, kimchi. At the festival you can taste quite a few varieties of kimchi and other foods, learn a little about the history of kimchi and the kimchi making process, and the best part: make your own kimchi to take home!

Starting the kimchi making process! This kimchi was slightly different than what Olivia made with her kids on their fieldtrip as a whole head of cabbage was used, but the spices were very similar. 

The finished product! We can eat our kimchi now, resulting in a crisper kimchi, or let it ferment for years.  Personally, we both prefer the newer, crisper kimchi.
