#kimchi
I tried kimchi and I loved it. I ate a whole cup. It has a lot of salt. What does salt do in the digestive system? It quickly pulls lots of water from the body until the salinity is equalized. What does lots of water do in the intestines? That's how my digestive system flushed like a rocket. Now I'm hungry again...
Yesterday my daughter fell asleep at 18.00 (quite early for her!) so I took the chance to do some cooking! Besides a meal of air-fried tofu, a spinach with mushroom curry with coconut cream, and a oven-baked potato with Brussels sprouts dish, I took the chance to work on some projects that were in my cooking to-do list.
Here you can see the result. My first ever try doing vegan Kimchi, and a classic of mine: Vegan cinnamon rolls!
Doing the Kimchi was a lot of fun. I got 5 Chinese cabbages for free using the Olio app, so doing Kimchi had been in the back of my mind for days now. I thought I wouldn't be able to do it, because I didn't know where in Amsterdam I could find Gochugaru, a korean Chili powder that is key to the recipe. To my surprise, yesterday while buying tofu and tempeh at my local Toko shop, I found they also sold Gochugaru! I didn't have any more excuses, so I also got some rice flour (the only other ingredient I was missing) and went back home to do the salting of the cabbages to start prepping for the Kimchi.
Parallel to the Kimchi prep, I also prepared some dough using powdered yeast for quick fermentation. I had some pecan nuts and lots of coconout oil at home, so I had all I needed for my classic vegan cinnamon buns recipe.
After 6 hours of cooking, all was ready. What I didn't foresee was that I should have worn gloves to prepare the Kimchi! turns out Gochagaru can really burn your skin if you are in contact with it too much. I have never followed recipes with measurements. I just eye-ball and guestimate everything. Maybe I used too much... After everything, my hand were burning like I had put them on acid. But it was worth it! The Cinnamon buns are delicious, and I can wait to try my first attempt at Kimchi :)
At the back, you can see my sourdough as well. It's in the fridge now, for slow fermenting. I will use it today to make some sourdough savory pancakes :D

Nous avons décidé de former un groupe de #traduction des #kimchicuddles . S’il y a des bonnes volontés qui ont envie de voir ces courts strips de bd traduits en français, qu’ils nous contactent ! Pour rappel, les kimchicuddles traitent des problématiques #lbgtqa dans le contexte du #polyamour de manière amusante. Ca permet de faire comprendre, mais aussi de réfléchir à ses propres pratiques.
Et si ça vous fait juste plaisir de les lire, vous pouvez toujours nous encourager, on va sûrement publier sur D*.
