Virginia has designated Tuesday as Kimchi Day, partly to herald the growing Korean American community in the commonwealth.
For those who still do it the traditional way, November is the month after the cabbage harvest when families and friends gather to make a year’s worth of kimchi, slathering a pungent red paste into the folds of the cabbage and stuffing it in to jars to ferment. The jars are buried in the ground, or, in the modern era, stored in a special kimchi fridge. The resulting dish, ubiquitous in Korean cuisine, is salty, sweet, spicy, sour and carries a punch of umami.
Virginia’s Kimchi Day was established when Elaine Shin , the first Korean American woman to serve in the state House of Delegates, proposed a resolution to make it official in January. It passed with bipartisan support. “In fact, it’s the opposite,” Keam said. “By coming and bringing our stuff here and using it and making it mainstream, we’re actually helping create American culture.”
“I could have never imagined this,” said Loiland, a professional pianist, gazing around the room at people with plates piled high with Korean specialties — noodles, dumplings, meat and savory kimchi pancakes. “I am so excited about this.”
