kimchi is the most common Korean side dish which is served with every meal. Although Kimchi has been scientifically proven to be high in nutrition, foreigners do not like Kimchi due to its pungent odor.

Kim Soon-ja, a South Korean woman who owns a Kimchi factory in Korea for over twenty years, has taken the challenge to create an odorless Kimchi. The challenge began during her trip to Europe several years ago when her tour guide asked her not to take out her Kimchi in public because it could be distasteful to foreigners.

Instead of being insulted, Kim was encouraged to try making Kimchi more appealing to foreigners by suppressing its smell; even after water is added.

Kim claims to be the first to create freeze-dried kimchi and has secured a patent. “When it soaks in water either hot or cold for a few minutes, it will become just like ordinary kimchi,” says Kim, who’s named by the South Korean Food Ministry in 2007 as the nation’s first kimchi master.

Kim hopes that her new odorless kimchi will create more global fans of Korean food.
