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

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

🦊

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

🐰

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

🐰

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

🐰

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

🐿️

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

🐰

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

🐿️

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

🦊

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

🐰

Nothing's worse than stale, funky-smelling kimchi

🐰

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

🦊

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

🐰

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

🐰

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

🐰

Literal kimchi storage unit lol

🐰

I just buy 1-2kg at a time lmao

🦊

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

🐰

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

🐿️

Noooo it won't all fit like this!

🐰

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

🐰

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

🐰

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