Kimchi - Fire 450 gm

FIRE KIMCHI

DESCRIPTION: One of the hottest chilli peppers in the world, Bhut Jolokia aka Ghost Pepper has made an appearance in our regular mouth-watering kimchi, making it blazing hot. Every bite will take you through a journey of flavours starting with a hint of sweet chilli taste until the heat kicks in. The lip-scorching heat of Bhut Jolokia blends perfectly with kimchi and makes it fiery enough to add that zing to your meals. Depending on your spice tolerance, start with a couple of spoons, to begin with.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

Taste: The main flavour notes you'll find in kimchi include sour, spicy, and umami. Being a fermented dish, its most prominent flavour is typically sour. Lactic acid produced by bacteria during fermentation creates a tangy, pungent flavour. It is slightly astringent due to the acid formed during fermentation. There is a strong garlic flavour which intensifies during fermentation. Kimchi is a perfect example of an acquired taste because of its overpowering smell and its hot and pickled taste.

Texture and mouthfeel: Traditional kimchi made with Chinese cabbage tastes equally soft and crunchy. Kimchi becomes more compact and softer as fermentation progresses.

Smell: Kimchi smells just as intense as it tastes. Garlic and ginger produce a lot of sulphur compounds, which gives kimchi its peculiar pungent smell. As the vegetables ferment, they release gases which have a strong smell. The smell of authentic well fermented kimchi can be off-putting for some, but to derive the probiotic benefit of fermentation the smell has to be appreciated because the smell is linked to the flavour of the kimchi.
