Korea is a famous pickled vegetable kingdom in Asia. Most Koreans primarily consume rice as their staple food. If there are no pickled vegetables on the table, they find it hard to enjoy a meal. Therefore, pickled vegetables are almost always served as side dishes with every Korean meal. In addition to the addictive pickled vegetables, Korea is also renowned for its famous ginseng chicken soup, which is incredibly mouthwatering.
Whenever we travel to Korea, some tour guides often take visitors to pickled vegetable factories. In these factories, you can try making pickled vegetables. If your pickled vegetable-making skills are deemed (passable), you will receive a graduation certificate from the factory. Some large Korean companies even offer their employees annual leave and bonuses specifically for making pickled vegetables. As a result, for Koreans, making pickled vegetables has become a significant family activity.
