    You can easily buy the seeds of this plant in any garden store, or, if you can’t, just order them online for hardly any money at all. In your garden, they will grow like weed, and respawn when you harvest them !

    Just use any dry chilli pepper. Just make sure it does not have ANY other spices in it; it should be just pure chilli powder, and nothing more.

    The chilli should be spicy, but not extremely so. The powder shouldn’t have seeds in it, but it should be a bit coarse.

    I think you could remove seeds from those dry chillies, and grind them in your food processor to get a coarse powder. Experiment !

    I still think that the result with korean chilli powder is a little bit better, but not that much so.

    Reminds me, I have a lot of asian chives in my garden, and I need to turn them into kimchi I think…

    Cilantro, perilla leaves are very easy to grow. Also chives (both european and asian). I coulnd’t imagine hot peppers being very hard either.

    With perilla keep in mind that it will take a very long time to sprout, but as soon as it does it grows very rapidly. You will want to pick the very young leaves, because in my experience the plant gets tougher and more bitter when maturing. So the enormous perilla leaves, you will probably want to buy in the store. Perilla plant also gives ddeulkkae seeds (and cilantro gives coriander seeds which can be used as a spice in things like indian cuisine, etc.)

    Most greens won’t be very hard to grow either. I planted ‘mustard spinach’ once and it was almost like a weed, overtaking my garden ! I think the crysanthemum is a very good idea. Perhaps they sell minari on that site as well.

    If you want to grow fruits, consider raspberries. It will take a couple of years before the plant is mature, but when it is you have delicious fruit. It is a climbing plant, so grow it against your fence or something. Also strawberries are of course a classic; just be careful not to let the snails eat them.

    Blackberries can also be grown, but are better picked in the wild for they are ubiquitous anyway (here in europe we have to look for them, but in America they should be everywhere simply because there’s more nature).

    In fact, I think that if the lady understood that it was for kimchi, you shouldn’t worry for a second. Just taste how spicy it is, and adjust to your taste.

    The flakes give a better result, in my opinion. The powder will make it very spicy, but perhaps you like that, and then it’s completely fine.

    ddukbokkie is just rice flour and water. nothing else.

    leave pork and alcohol ingredients out of the soup and you’re ready to go.

    running through babelfish translator it looks like it contains:

    duck, onions, garlic, soybean paste, (some kind of alcoholic beverage. cooking wine?), perilla seeds (I think?), red peppers, perilla leaves, dropwort, ginger, black pepper

    Looks like everything is just boiled together and the greens are added last? Perhaps braise the duck a bit before adding water? No idea.

    Ik gebruik zelf voor zaken als rijst, meel of vloeibare dingen gewoon een koffiekopje. Als het iets anders is, is het makkelijker om gewoon te schatten.

    Als u voor alles een kopje van dezelfde grootte gebruikt, maakt het niet zo veel uit hoe groot het kopje daadwerkelijk is.

    ^assuming you understand above comment since you are from Belgium.

    I just took two sweet and ripe pears and blended them. I didn’t use porridge.

    The kimchi is kinda watery but that is just my fault and not the pear juices fault I think…

    Oh my this recipe sounds delicious! Mussels are a Dutch specialty so I can easily get fresh mussels! Please tell me if you have found the recipe!

    I always make kimchi with iodized salt, no problem.

    The sugar replacement does seem problematic… how about trying to add sugar? I have no idea…

    Come to think of it: I made my kimchi with Pear juice, but without sugar. Will it ferment because of the natural sugar in pear juice or do I need to add some sugar to it?
