We had a good run, thank you everyone

Here’s my July comment. It’s been a struggle getting used to lemmy but it’s still pretty early and I think I’m soo mad at Reddit that I being a lurker have decided to be more active and post more. It might take close to an year or so for more posts to show up and fill the communities so be patient and cut them some slack.

[Homemade] Vegetarian Kimchi

Reply in thread

No it’s mostly uses a base that has either fish sauce/oyster sauce/shrimp paste/anchovies etc. I’m not Korean but I have made Kimchi a lot of times and I’ve noticed that every family/bloggers have a different version of Kimchi. So it’s a very versatile dish and takes a couple of tries to get it right based on your preferences.

Your plant looks great. Don’t let that redditor bother you. The vines are beautiful but they will grow bigger if you give it something to climb on like the curtain rod you mentioned. I think that guy was saying your plant was light deprived because of the leaves being smaller than the older ones. It’s normal and not all plants have to look picture perfect. Your plant is healthy and looks great. To be honest I am jealous that I don’t have such a lush and healthy plant.

[Homemade] Vegetarian Kimchi

It has two components that bring the bright red color. One of them is Gochujang- a fermented chilli paste which is not at all spicy but has a strong umami flavour. The second one is gochugaru- red chilli flakes which are pretty spicy. If you’re trying to make Kimchi you can totally skip it.

If you get to try Kimchi at a restaurant it’s probably not too spicy and mellow.

Can anyone recommend any good materials for beginners please? Books, videos, wikis... anything. I really want to learn the basics!

I would recommend starting with a Golden Pothos plant. It’s really resilient and rewarding. Grows at a decent pace so you won’t get bored waiting for it to put out new growth. Stick your finger in the soil and if it feels dry water it. Good luck and I think Summer Rayne Oakes and Epic Gardening on youtube have good videos on plant care.
