Lon's co-worker, Bill, is half Korean and his Korean half comes from his mom, a former pro ping pong player. The world should also know, she is a pro kimchee maker! Bill brought me a box of his mom's kimchee and it is so so good. Can I please have the recipe?
Kimchee has so few ingredients, yet it tastes so different, depending on who made it. It's about the perfect balance of acid, spice, and fermentation. This one has it all and just a little more flavor. Ok, I will stop raving now and work on getting the recipe.

I will def try this, I have tried to make my own kimchee in the past. I ended up with watery spicy won bok instead of my desired results. So sad. I have to say this is one of the great dishes in the world that is done wrong much more often than done right. |

Scott's mom makes delicious kimchi, but one thing I realized that makes a huuuuggeee difference is that she has a special refrigerator that has temperature control and different fermentation processes to store her kimchi. Everytime we take the kimchi to Scott's and leave it in the regular fridge it just doesn't taste as good after a few days. |
