National Kimchi Day in Argentina: the Senate gave a half sanction to the law

BY MRT ON OCTOBER 7, 2021

With 47 votes in favor and none against, the Senate gave half a sanction to the
project that establishes November 22 of each year as “National Kimchi Day in
Argentina”. The kimchi is a korean dish made from a fermented preparation that has
as its basic ingredient Asian cabbage or Brassica pekinensis cabbage.

There are also other recipes in which ingredients such as radishes or cucumbers are
used, among other vegetables, which are commonly accompanied by ground red pepper
or chili, garlic, onions or other combinations according to different geographical
areas of Korea, is present on the day to day in the Korean table, the Kimchi
consumed in both North and South Korea.

What is Kimchi, the Korean dish that will have its day in Argentina
El kimchi was born as a technique to preserve vegetables during the harsh Korean
winter. It is a dehydrated vegetable (in the style of sauerkraut), mainly cabbage,
macerated with garlic, ginger and chili, until proper fermentation is achieved.

The pungent, fresh and ocher flavor together with the crunchy texture combine to
create an exceptional product, although not suitable for sensitive palates.

But not only kimchi is made from cabbage; According to the Seoul Kimchi Museum,
there are 137 types, although some say there may be as many as 200 types. For
example, there are them with radish, cucumber and turnip, seasoned with various
spices, oysters, fish paste, fruits, etc.

The history of Kimchi

It is estimated that kimchi is over 2000 years old, although the spicy was added in
the seventeenth century, a product of the Japanese influence that, in turn, was
received from the Portuguese colonies. During the Korean War in the 1950s, the
commander-in-chief of South Korean forces believed that it boosted the morale of
his men and claimed that he “wanted kimchi more than his own wife.”

It seems that kimchi is here to stay in Argentina, especially now, which seems to
have its day in Argentina. The preparation is not only limited to ethnic cuisine
restaurants, but great chefs such as Joan Roca and Quique Dacosta include it in
their masterful preparations.

Kimchi was added to UNESCO’s representative list of the Intangible Cultural

Heritage of Humanity, following the initiatives of South Korea in 2013 and North
Korea in 2015.
