Gonna get some rib bones simmering for the stock.
Yea, that stuff is addictive and too good. Shrimp for me too.Kimchi is good. Lasts long too.
My new "favorite" is cup noodles. The staple of a college student's diet. I tolerate shrimp the best, no corn.

I added a few sprinkles of micron shrimp that I keep in the freezer to my experiment.. I musta threw out my fish sauce but that stuff is so strong anyway. There's an infinite number of recipes for Kimchi and mine is yet another one.. I took parts from quite a few recipes/how-to's and winged it. I'm sure it's hotter'n f.
Amazon brother,Amazon.Oh man. I love me some kimchi! My dad used to make it, he loved crap like that. Anything, it seemed, that would stink up the house. Mom hated it all of course. I've made it a time or three and the last two times I did something wrong because it never turned out. We've got no Korean markets anywhere near us so I have never been able to use the chilies they do. I'm just toasting de arbol chilies and grinding. I buy a bottle once in a while, or a serving from Du's. Spendy for fermented napa cabbage.
There isn't a Korean village in Portland?
Methinks the Koreans tend to keep their best stuff close to the vest. Just like "chinese" food really isnt - at least most of the crap served at most restaurants.
Not a kimchi fan myself but I'm sure you can find the good stuff - or ingredients to make it yourself - with more detectiving. Might require going to some lengths - like hiring a PI to follow your favorite first-gen Korean immigrant... (because if YOU follow them, it's stalking...) or befriending the child of a first gen immigrant and getting them to spill the beans.
Or go to the source - marry a first gen immigrant that likes to cook. Even if it means polygamy. Especially if Prime Wife likes korean food too, she may warm to the concept easier.
Krap sakes....All I want is a damned bag of the dried chilies like Korean mama uses! Polygamy, find me a Korean lady to marry. Seems an awfully lot to go through just for a decent batch of kimchi?
I actually went to Winco to try to get my powder yesterday (no luck and I kinda figured) and while there talked to a stunning Korean gal of maybe 60 but looked like a 16 yr old really.. anyway. So I went to Fubon up the road for most of my good stuff.Krap sakes....All I want is a damned bag of the dried chilies like Korean mama uses! Polygamy, find me a Korean lady to marry.

Think of all the other benefits though - at least till she turns 30 and her face slides off You know you want to...

Be prepared to ask a few people stuff as many of the staff don't speak English. They've got an aisle of the pre-made paste and chili powders and stuff on the next.

So my Kimchi is spicy as f and not fermented yet.. I like it.
I've got a bunch. And you're right.. a pint jar of the stuff is like $5 pre-made.

There's your detective work
This is from a born in Korea girl who learned from her opa
Soak your veggies,( napa cabbage,dakon radishi,green onions,cucumbers,whatever) in salted water till its soft then rinse
Take the flakes or this paste is easiest Amazon.com : Chung Jung One Sunchang Hot Pepper Paste Gold (Gochujang) 500g : Grocery & Gourmet Food and mix with the cabbage or whatever.
The recipe calls for fish flakes but I leave that out
Here is a great YouTube channel also
Maangchi
Easy peasy
You will use it in your noodles so make plenty.
**BTW, you mix the flakes and flour and water to make that paste above. So if you just get the paste it's way easier**
