Last Wednesday was field trip day and the first graders all went to the kimchi museum to make some kimchi. For those of you that don't know, kimchi is fermented veggies, most often cabbage, with a variety of seasonings. It is Korea's national dish and is served with almost every meal.

| On our way to the Kimchi Museum! |
Without further ado, here are my students making a big ol' mess:
 |
| Start by chopping the cabbage. I'm actually not sure exactly what vegetable we were using, although it definitely wasn't the traditional cabbage. Maybe the cabbage stalk? |
 |
| Mix the cabbage with salt. Obviously, don't use gloves because that just isn't any fun. |
 |
| Add scallions, fish sauce, some sort of red pepper sauce, garlic, etc. |
 |
| Keep mixing! Take a bite or lick your fingers to see how it is going. Put your hands right back in! |
 |
| Attempt to clean. Note my coteacher in the back who knowingly wore all white to stand in a room with around 100 first graders throwing around a food that is notorious for permanently staining clothing. Somehow she didn't get a drop of kimchi on her regardless of all of the kids looking like Jack, the boy in the picture. |

Take home your kimchi and enjoy!
"Teacher! So delicious!" |
