Kimchi a bit

Can you give me just one bundle of kimchi? Don't bring a lot since I have nowhere to put it, seriously

Only the kimchi sound comes through

There's no kimchi...?

I'm starving

There's no kimchi

I'm dying!!

I can't eat rice!!

Mom

Save me!

Mom's brain

Kimchi

After this happened once, I just started making kimchi in small batches myself.

Can you send me just one container? Don't bring too much since I don't have room, seriously

If I only ate napa cabbage kimchi I'd starve, so bring young radish kimchi, fresh-made kimchi, water kimchi, scallion kimchi, and diced cucumber kimchi too

๐ŸฆŠ

If that sounds like too much work, I'll just buy it myself

๐Ÿฐ

this is the most wholesome thing I've seen all week, moms shipping food across the world hits different fr

๐Ÿฐ

I don't eat that much so even one container lasts forever, and by the time I get through it I'm eating super fermented kimchi lmao

๐Ÿฐ

Yes mom. Kimchi? The one you sent last time still has more than half left. Yes. Please don't send any more. Yes. Yes.

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

??? "'Kimchi... send... please send more...' request received."

๐Ÿฐ

Mom: "But I just made fresh kimchi this year. Just taste it, just a bite"

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

Only half the kimchi left...?! Oh no my fridge is empty, I'm gonna go hungry soon!

๐ŸฆŠ

Same, it feels like too much of a burden so I just buy kimchi, but I tried aging it in my hotel mini-fridge and it tasted amazing

๐Ÿฐ

Nothing's worse than stale, funky-smelling kimchi

๐Ÿฐ

Lol same, so I just buy it and told her to stop sending any since I still have kimchi from last time

๐ŸฆŠ

lmaooo this is so relatable, my mom literally sends me packages of food every month like I can't eat without her ๐Ÿ˜ญ

If you grab some pork shoulder and make kimchi stew a few times, you'll finish it quick. Add soju with the kimchi stew and it never gets old hahahaha

๐Ÿฐ

I felt this in my soul ๐Ÿ’” nobody makes it like mom does, no matter where you are

๐Ÿฐ

Literal kimchi storage unit lol

๐Ÿฐ

I just buy 1-2kg at a time lmao

๐ŸฆŠ

why is this hitting different... my parents do this exact thing and I always pretend I don't want it but secretly I'm obsessed

๐Ÿฐ

Went to get kimchi and came back with kimchi, red bean porridge, and random other stuff

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ

Noooo it won't all fit like this!

๐Ÿฐ

kimchi is actually life, I'd ask my mom for some too if she knew how to make it

๐Ÿฐ

ok but her mom probably sent the GOOD kimchi, homemade hits way different than store bought ngl

๐Ÿฐ

this is me but with my grandma's dal... international students really do just need their parents' cooking to survive lol
