I see. Maybe you can find it in an Asian shop. It is a very healthy Korean food. Thank you @Deepizzaguy.

I guess the counterpart of kimchi in Chinese is "chai po" which my mother usually made before when we were young. It is made of fermented raddish. We use it to go with our porridge (lugaw) and sometimes my mother chops them thinly and mixed them in scrambled eggs. It is salty and crunchy.

I have not wanted to try it. I have heard it is very spicy. I like some fermented foods, though.

I don’t like too spicy food but I can handle when it is not so spicy. Making my own kimchi, I can control how spicy it becomes. Thank you @Aquitaine24.

It depends. There are also mild spicy @GardenGerty. Thank you.

I think that was the traditional way of making kimchi @sol_cee. There are many kimchi recipes on you tube and they look good and tasty. Thank you.

I had kimchi in Singapore. They gave it as a side dish for fried rice and I just loved it.

@Aquitaine24 I am sure that the kimchi fried rice would be yummy. I liked the sour tangy taste. It really enhanced the flavour as side dish.

I do like kim chi, although I have never tried to make it. I don't have it very often actually.

Yes, it is easy to make @jobelbojel. There was a Filipina who was making and selling Kimchi here but she is in the Philippines now so I tried to make my own, Lugaw is good especially during cold season. Thank you.

I haven't tried kimchi before. Is it time-consuming to make?

you have to wait for it to ferment.

No, it is not time consuming to make @JudyEv. It depends how many kilos of cabbage you make for kimchi. I only make for 1 kilo. Thank you.

@Aquitaine24 Yes but you can already eat it after a day of fermentation. Well, the longer it is fermented, the tastier it becomes.

No, I've never tried Kimchi; and I don't think I would like it. My husband tells me tales of the women making Kimchi in Korea and burying the crocks in the ground to ferment.

It is cheaper to make it than buy it as it is imported from Korea. Thank you @Kandae11
