This is old news. It has been going on for a while now. I think importing is a good option. Many of my Korean friends told me that there is no difference between Kimchi made in Korea and Kimchi made by Korean from cabbage from China.
Napa cabbage is native to China anyway, but I find that my family usually just eats the round head cabbage.

ETT isnt getting enough love here, thats the first thing I thought of when I saw Korean cabbage is best cabbage. <3
Maybe South Korea could go over to their friendly neighbors to borrow a cup of cabbage.

I can't bear to buy kimchi =/ it seems so expensive. When you can buy a head of napa at $.39 a lb and just make it yourself it seems like such a waste. I'm not korean so my recipe is one I made up from trial and error so if anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it, but this is how i usually do it.
1) slice cabbage into quarters, douse in pickling salt and let sit for 3-4 hours.
2) While salting, mix together water, fish sauce, red pepper powder, garlic, green onion, some sliced carrot, and mung bean starch and heat.
3) Wash the cabbage to get the salt off after sitting.
4) Mix sauce and cabbage and stick in a jar and leave it out for a week or until sufficiently sour.

thats fucked up... korean people live, eat and breathe kimchi... hope they can sort it out.
its been almost a year since I ate kimchi and I want to find some so bad...

I know the daughter of the person who owns Cosmos Kimchi. So weird...

I had kimchi as a side dish at bbq tonight and bought some from the korean supermarket on my way home. This is a disaster, if the price skyrockets i'll have to make my own with inferior aussie cabbage

Cabbage is very important to Chinese and Koreans alike.
Here is a Jade Cabbage. The caption is a play-on-words. Bai Cai 白菜 (Cabbage) in common speech sounds like Bai Cai 百财 (hundred riches). So they associate wealth with cabbage. Thus eating more cabbage will make your richer.

I had a ton of kimchi yesterday and my burps still smell like it.
What, got a problem?

Yeah it's weird, it used to be that every restaurant gave you a big pile of kimchi and refilled it instantly if you finished it. Now they just give you like 3 or 4 little pieces and never refill it.

Well, I heard from some nutrition specialists that alot of koreans have health problems because they have so much salty kim chi every day, and i guess this is technically good health wise? But it really sucks that their cultural staple food is getting so expensive! Like if China or india rice prices went up. They would be devastated.

I guess it depends on at which aspect you look - quote from wiki: "The magazine Health named kimchi in its list of top five "World's Healthiest Foods" for being rich in vitamins, aiding digestion, and even possibly reducing cancer growth." I

I think alot of the salt in there diet comes from ramen too. That garbage is salty and fatty but they eat it like crazy.
