In Korea where Chuck first learned Tang Soo Do while he was a USAF Air Policeman. It wasn't because he wanted to learn karate. It was the only way the little Korean man was willing to sell him real Korean Kimchi. Real kimchi is so bad, first you learn karate or it eats you.
2 cups dried red pepper flakes and 1 cup raw garlic to every gallon of cabbage. Oh and 2 year old rotted fermented shrimp paste. Or fermented fish, or fermented squid....fermented something dead and stinky.
