🏺 From Korean kimchi to Andean chicha, fermentation weaves an invisible thread through human civilization.
For millennia, we have partnered with microbes to transform simple ingredients into cultural treasures. Each bubble tells a story; each tang preserves tradition.

My #kimchi isn't authentically Korean, because I brine the Napa cabbage first for several hours, making it "water kimchi". Also, I chop up the leaves in advance, rather than massaging each leaf with the flavourings. Still, I've offered the finished product to many Koreans, and they love it!
#fermentation is a really fun learning process.
My latest #sauerkraut with red onion and mustard seeds seems to be fermenting very nicely.
The first Saturday of January, I'll take a class to make fermented soda: a ginger bug. I have a recipe, and it seems simple, but I prefer to start this with someone who's done it many times. And, it's a good excuse for a #roadtrip, since it's a bit over an hour away, in a small city with a great restaurant and brewery.

We are going back home to the Netherlands in the morning from a short break in Germany.

Having seen many German made Kimchis.
No wonder, sauerkraut is a staple dish here after all.
Seeing that in Scotland this year was more surprising.

I made kimchi a few times with Chinese cabbage. I started a green cabbage for fermentation a few days before we left. Very basic, just to try out some ideas.
Now I'm anxious to see and taste the result.

the most recent post from @larsga deals with the 3 ways that humans have turned the starch from grain into sugar for producing alcoholic beverages. Pretty interesting stuff and worth some more research.

November 29, 2025. We have an Indonesian hot sauce theme for this southern Minnesota snow day. The kitchen smells wonderful. Some of the fermented Sambal is getting a coconut and spices upgrade to become Sambal Kelapa. It’s four pint jars! The pan toasted coconut and spices upgrade is in the silver bowl. The straight Sambal is continuing to ferment in the brown crock. These recipe ideas are from #adelaide. #fermentation #minnesota, #sambal, #growyourown, #nodig, #compost

Ist das ja ein Genuß, den beiden beizuwohnen, das müsst Ihr Euch ansehen!

A November 28, 2025 milestone. The shredded carrot fermentation is jarred after nine days on the countertop. The late November fermentation went well without fruit flies or bits of mold making a scene. The recipe is in the Kirsten Shockey “Fermented Vegetables” cookbook. We use this in baked savory muffins and more. It’s also a substitute for sweet potatoes as we leave sweet potato growing to other gardeners. #fermentation, #minnesota, #growyourown, #nodig, #Carrots, #Zone4b

@MPaola Oh my. Forever is a long time. We are fortunate. Our first fermentation troubles were minor. Many of our most flavorful ingredients for cooking are fermented in the growing season and then used year round. Cilantro paste is one example. Southern Minnesota has a six month gap in the growing season. Also fermented garlic paste lasts through the offseason. #fermentation, #garlic, #Zhug, #minnesota

I took a #fermentation class from a guy who ferments on a full-time basis. He recommended a 3-week+ ferment for sauerkraut. I find that #kimchi, made with napa cabbage, is ready to refrigerate in only 3 days. I'm taking another class from him at the beginning of January for making a ginger bug soda starter. I have instructions (simple) and ginger, but I still prefer to take the hands-on class before starting the process. The whole business of fermentation is very interesting.

@beandreams The kimchi carrots and friends fermentations are great. Can we swap one of our jars for one of yours at lunch break? #fermentation

Leitungswasser für Kombucha und Wasserkefir ist in Ordnung, wenn du es vorbereitest. Filtern, abkochen oder abstehen lassen schützt deine Kulturen und deinen Wintervorrat.

was looking at making miso (thanks @chad ) because I've had some koji rice I grew sitting in my fridge for like a couple years now... and my brain is going into weird places.

At first it was like: can I make miso with beans other than soy? That answer is yes.

And now it's like: let's make southwestern miso with canned seasoned black beans.

#miso #fermentation

@beandreams. Yes. Carrots are a great fermentation. These carrots are shredded in the big shreds. The fermented carrots with ginger are an ingredient for baking savory muffins. Fermented carrots are a substitute for baked sweet potatoes. #fermentation, #minnesota
