Volcano Kimchi

Before I get into the kimchi, let's talk pork belly first.

I found another trick. Put some smashed garlic cloves under the perforated tray to brown the garlic.

Unfortunately the pork belly was lean and there was not much fat. But still I got my garlic browned with some bits burnt.

I opened a new bottle of store bought kimchi. This one is packed in a glass jar.

Whoa! As soon as I opened the jar, it started actively bubbling.

I was scared that it would overflow and mess up my dining table.

So I just let it settle and allow the gasses to escape.

This is a good sign.

The microbes are alive.

The juices spilled when I attempted to take some kimchi out from the bottle. But no big deal.

This kimchi is good. Very delicious.

This kimchi brand is Penguin Taste. They also have radish kimchi, vegan kimchi and gochujang.
