South Korea Ration Type III

[Herr_Braun]

The color was not that of Herr Braun's ration or that of your pictures (rather reddish than yellow) but it was really good

Because the Kimchi in the ration is somewhat old. Tasting sour.
I opened this package in Feb. 2009 and this one was manufactured in 2005.
About 4 years passed So the color is quite red-brown.

Thanks dirtbag, I'll try to get some kimchi spices from the Asian supermarkets next time I go to Paris.
Herr_Braun OK, so it's loke the MRE: 3 packs a day...

Do your own spice mix, some Garlic, onion,little bit of ginger, lots of red pepper, some add some sugar, maybe some soy.
BTW, the Asian markets sell red pepper in a bag, its fairly mild, you can add lots...
If you can find a korean restaurant, give it a try!

If you can find a korean restaurant, give it a try!

yes, but maybe in Paris, here we have to drive 60 miles to find something like a KFC
I've found the recipe on the Net: http://www.lovethatkimchi.com/Kimchi-Re ... ideos.html , isn't there any other spice or herb used? I have some cabbage kimchi but the pouches are only written in Korean

Some recipes add fish, sugar, other stuff.

The last batch I made (last week) I put in 6 Chiles de Arbol, maybe a bit too hot !!!
Nice flavor though !

It's quite funny here since I could drive less then a mile and find a store that sells kimchi pre-made in a huge jar for about 5 bucks.

I would probably have to go 150 miles to find a French Cafe...
