I-kimchi, ubuciko bokuvubela ngobuciko, inemiphetho enemibala ebomvu, ewolintshi, nesagolide ecashile, ukwakheka kwayo okucwebezelayo kukhuluma nokucwebezela kwemvelo kwemifino ngaphakathi. Amaqabunga eklabishi e-napa acwebile, athambekele ngenxa yenqubo yokuvutshelwa kodwa asabambe ukuququda okunamandla, ahlanganiswe neziqephu zesithombo, u-garlic, nopelepele. Ukusakazeka kwe-parsley entsha esitsheni kunikeza ukugqama okuluhlaza okotshani, imininingwane encane kodwa enomthelela egcizelela ubusha kanye nemvelo eqinisekisa ukuphila kokudla. Kubonakala sengathi umusi uphuma endishini ngeso lengqondo, uphethe iphunga elimnandi elimnandi nelihlabayo lokubila, elibonisa ukunambitheka kwaso okujulile, okuyinkimbinkimbi—ibhalansi yomuncu, okubabayo, kanye ne-umami evusa izinzwa.

Ezungeze lesi sigcawu esimaphakathi, indawo yesehlakalo ihlotshiswe ngokucatshangwayo ngezithako ezingavuthiwe ezenza i-kimchi ibe isidlo esihlonishwayo. Izaqathi ezisawolintshi ezikhanyayo, isikhumba sazo esibenyezela ekukhanyeni, zilala eduze kwesitsha, zivusa ubumnandi bazo obunjengomhlaba kanye nokuluma okuchotshozayo. Utamatisi obomvu ovuthiwe, ocwebezelayo futhi omningi, uphakamisa ukusha nokuba nojusi, nakuba engatholakali ngaso sonke isikhathi ku-kimchi yendabuko, enezela emfanekisweni wonala nempilo. Izigaxa zikagalikhi, namakhoba awo angamaphepha ahlutshiwe abuyele emuva ngokwanele ukuze embule ama-clove ngaphakathi, agcizelela iphimbo eliphansi elicijile, elibabayo ugalikhi elidlulisela esitsheni. Imifino enamahlamvu aluhlaza iphumela ngaphandle, ifanekisela inala yesivuno sepulazi lase-Korea, kuyilapho ukwakheka kwayo okushisayo, okunemithambo kuhluke kahle namajika abushelelezi endishini. Yonke into ikhethwa futhi ibekwe ngokucophelela, igqamisa kokubili ubuciko bokulungisa ukudla kanye nokuxhumana okujulile phakathi kwe-cuisine nomhlaba okuwondlayo.

Ukukhanyisa esithombeni kudlala indima ebalulekile ekuphakamiseni indawo yonke. Imisebe efudumele, esagolide ishanela kulo lonke uhlelo, inanela ukukhanya kwelanga lantambama elidlulela emkhathizwe. Lokhu kukhanya kuthuthukisa imibala egcwele ye-kimchi, okwenza okubomvu kube nomlilo, okuluhlaza kugqame kakhudlwana, namawolintshi akhange nakakhulu. Izithunzi ziwela kancane ngemuva kwezithako, zenza ukujula nomuzwa wokuzwana, kuyilapho ukukhanya kwemvelo kunikeza isimo esicishe sibe ukugubha. Kunjengokungathi isidlo asikona nje ukudla kodwa umthombo wokuphila nenjabulo, efakwe ukufudumala kwemvelo. Ingemuva, elifiphele kancane kodwa lisacwebezele ngokungangabazeki ngamasimu aluhlaza, liqinisa ubudlelwano obuseduze phakathi kokudla nomhlaba. Kusikisela ukuthi ukunambitheka nezimfanelo ezithuthukisa impilo ze-kimchi akuzona nje izenzakalo ezingavamile kodwa izipho eziqondile ezivela enhlabathini evundile, ukukhanya kwelanga, nokutshalwa ngokucophelela.

Isitsha sihlanganisa kokubili ukulondolozwa nokuguqulwa: imifino ethobekile iguqulwa ibe into ecebile, eyinkimbinkimbi, futhi ehlala njalo, ekwazi ukondla umzimba ngenkathi ijabulisa ulwanga. Ukuhlelwa kwemifino emisha ezungeze isitsha kukhulisa lokhu kulandisa, kukhumbuza izibukeli ngobumsulwa bezithako ezingavuthiwe kanye nobuciko obudingekayo ukuze kuqiniswe amandla azo aphelele. Ndawonye, ingemuva lemvelo, iphrezentheshini ecabangelayo, nokukhanya okukhazimulayo kuphakamisa isithombe sisuke ekubonisweni okulula kokudla siye ekuhlonipheni okusankondlo kuya kusibopho esihlala njalo phakathi kwabantu, isiko, kanye nomhlaba wemvelo.
