I did this year’s Kimjang with my mom (about two weeks ago). Making her homemade kimchi paste was a lot more complicated — besides garlic, ginger, red pepper powder and many different greens, it also needs seasonal fruits (three kinds), three different fish sauces, and fermented salted seafood. It took at least a day to prepare and required a lot of ingredients. I found this YouTube video that explains what kimchi is for people encountering it for the first time: https://youtu.be/hd6Djp1D9VU
