South Korea is a land of bold flavors, ancient methods, and deep culinary heritage. This video journeys through the country’s fermentation traditions—from fiery kimchi handcrafted by a devoted husband in South Jeolla, to the rich, restorative hangover soup simmering in Seoul. In Sunchang, meet a master of gochujang, Korea’s beloved all-purpose sauce, and in Hamyang, uncover the healing powers of bamboo salt, a mineral-rich treasure fired in centuries-old kilns. Four dishes. One tradition. Fermentation at its finest.
