Free online kimchi-making course – handy for your pantry!
Volleyball has been cancelled, book club is not happening and for the time being you don’t have to report to work either. So what do you do? Make kimchi, if you ask Meneer Wateetons. Tonight, he’s giving a free online kimchi-making workshop. You can simply do it safely in your own kitchen, completely corona-proof.
Kimchi is insanely delicious fermented vegetables, which you’ve been finding on the menus of almost every major-city restaurant for about a year now. But unfortunately, we won’t be able to go there for a while. Meneer Wateetons, known for his books on fermenting (Over Rot), smoking food (Over Rook) and sausage (Worstbijbel), has come up with the solution: simply make kimchi yourself, in your own kitchen. In forty-five minutes, he’ll talk you through it. So put your laptop on the counter and get started tonight.
Vegetable supplies
What do you need? You just need to sign up on Meneer Wateetons’ website. And make sure you have a sharp knife, a good amount of sea salt and some vegetables in stock so you can take part with him in real time. Scales and a glass jar to put the kimchi in are also rather important. Good news: kimchi keeps for a long time, so however this corona lockdown turns out, at least you won’t be without spicy Korean cabbage. Will you join in?
