Together with her husband she grows a variety of cabbages and has found a way to sell raw sauerkraut unpasteurized, because that's the healthiest way. Susanne travels to South Korea to learn how to make kimchi. Kimchi is also something of a national dish in South Korea and is served with all food as a side dish. Jong-hwa lives in Gangwon-do Province and wants to show Susanne how to make her favorite kimchi. When tasting the German Sauerkraut she is a bit skeptical: Can something that consists of only two ingredients really taste good? Her kimchi are packed with at least a dozen things besides the obligatory Chinese cabbage, especially chili, followed by dried prawns and powdered mulberry leaves. The two women get on with each other immediately and get to work together. Susanne is impressed by the time-consuming kimchi production. However, the usual chili amounts for Korean tastes are too much for their taste buds. Together, Susanne and Jong-hwa experiment with a traditional Korean pancake, which they make with sauerkraut instead of kimchi. It also tastes Jong-hwa's girlfriends. Now Susanne plans to make kimchi in Germany herself. However, one that is less spicy. Written by Arte See less
