My mom made kimchi but it became no longer financially worthwhile especially considering the labor. I was happy though because her kimchi was not as good as the local grandma's kimchi, whose kimchi was just a little bit better than the ones I get at my local Korean supermarket. For true kimchi lovers, the best kimchi I've ever had in my life was at a Korean Buddhist temple, and I've probably had hundreds of pounds of kimchi in my life. Highly recommend looking into Korean Buddhist cuisine because they built their vegan culinary expertise over centuries. For those curious in trying Korean cuisine, go to a traditional Korean restaurant, safest bet being Korean BBQ. A good traditional Korean restaurant should serve at least 5 different side dishes, and probably 3 of them will be pickled, with at least one dish being kimchi. Or go to a Korean supermarket like Hmart and you'll find more types of kimchi than you could possibly imagine... Even I'm stunned by all the varieties available at my local supermarket...
