If you’ve ever made your own kimchi, you know just how many ingredients you can use to create a unique flavor. Take for example, the traditional way of making kimchi. It’s made with a kimchi paste made from kimchi and red chili peppers, along with some salt, sugar, and garlic. I’ve also heard people add carrots or daikon, or even some fish sauce and oyster sauce. It sounds like a really interesting process for making a new type of food. It got me thinking: why stop at kimchi? What about making a new type of relish?
