"This post is an honest review based on a received service."
Hello,
I'm TaeTaeMom.
"Is this really kimchi if it’s not spicy?"
That was the first thing I said after trying the Napa Cabbage Kimchi from Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab.
At first glance, it looks slightly transparent, unlike the red kimchi we are used to, yet it is intriguingly not spicy.
However, it still retains the refreshing and crisp taste of napa cabbage!
What surprised me the most was that my 25-month-old son, Tae-i, enjoyed it more than I did!
I highly recommend this napa cabbage kimchi for kids who find spicy food difficult to eat!
Please pay close attention to this review today.
At my home, it quickly became a favorite side dish on our kid's table.
1. Is it really red kimchi without chili powder?
Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab is a brand that tells the story of "real ingredient kimchi infused with the refreshing nature of Bonghwa."
The most fascinating aspect of the napa cabbage kimchi I tried was the seasoning.
I assumed it contained chili powder because of its red color, but it turns out they used fresh tomatoes and bell peppers instead for flavor and color.
They didn’t use any powdered ingredients, and they also avoided fish sauce, sugar, and typical seasonings!
This makes it appealing to those looking for a napa cabbage kimchi that is not overpowering and highlights the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab truly broke my stereotype that kimchi must be red and spicy.
2. It’s really not spicy! Yet, it’s fascinatingly kimchi.
What I felt first after tasting it was, "Huh? It’s really not spicy at all?" But it’s still fascinatingly kimchi.
Instead of the sharp spiciness of chili powder or the strong scent of fermented seafood, the freshness from the tomatoes and bell peppers stands out.
When you bite into the cabbage, it has a crunchy texture, and as you continue, a refreshing and clean taste remains.
It allows the natural flavors of the cabbage and ingredients to shine through, making it a great choice for those who find spicy and salty kimchi overwhelming.
3. Tae-i eats it better than his mom, who is 25 months old?
The most unexpected reaction at my house was from Tae-i.
I placed a bit of napa cabbage kimchi next to his rice, and at first, I wondered if he would eat it.
But after one bite, he continued to eat it naturally.
Without the spiciness, he didn’t grimace or look for water; he just happily ate it with rice!
Seeing him enjoy it more than I did made me smile.
4. Clean taste with low-salt pickling for 3-4 hours.
Eating with a child means being mindful of not just spiciness but also saltiness.
The napa cabbage kimchi from Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab undergoes a low-salt pickling process for about 3-4 hours, with a salinity level of 1.4-1.6% according to the brand's materials.
It doesn’t hit you with a salty taste like regular kimchi; instead, it feels clean and refreshing.
5. Already cut, just take it out and eat!
Besides the taste, I appreciated the convenience as a homemaker.
The napa cabbage kimchi from Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab is pre-cut into bite-sized pieces.
You don’t need to cut a long piece of kimchi on a cutting board or wash a cutting board smeared with kimchi juice; just take out the amount you need!
6. Kimchi that the whole family can enjoy.
When you have to take out separate kimchi for kids and adults, the number of kimchi containers in the fridge increases.
However, this napa cabbage kimchi is enjoyed by both me and my 25-month-old son, making it especially nice to put it on the table together.
Seeing Tae-i happily eat kimchi gives me a sense of pride.
In summary, if you're looking for a napa cabbage kimchi that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults, I highly recommend Cheongnyangwon Kimchi Lab's unique kimchi.
