Yes, it is spicy! We’ve gotten to try that several times and I think it’s an aquired taste. 😉 That’s wonderful that the “recipe” is being passed down. I love trying new dishes from different cultures!

I love finding books that have both Korean and English translations. I actually just found one for adults that I picked up called “Kids of the Korean War – Father of a Thousand” and I can’t wait to read it. We would certainly love to read any new folktales that you would be willing to loan! Thanks again! 🙂

Its lovely that you have been able to find something age appropriate to use to start introducing Korean culture. I have two cousins who were adopted from Korea as children. They are older than me and have families of their own now. One of the things their adoptive mum did was teach them how to make Kimchi (really spicy pickled cabbage). My cousin in turn taught my Dad how to make it. Its super stinky but quite tasty.

And I think it is so amazing that you want to keep your son connected to his culture! I am half-Korean and spent a third of my life there….If you are ever interested, I could totally loan you a couple of books from my childhood of Korean Folktales! I read them growing up- and they truly are a reflection of the culture! (I would need them back, though- haha!) They are in English and Korean- the only thing is, much like old fashioned Hans Christian Anderson and other European fairy tales, there is often some sort of violence (like how the tiger eats an old woman, or the wise man was put in shackles and threatened with death for stealing a pearl, or how Korean Cinderella drowned but came back to life…) that we don’t tend to read in modern kids’ stories! haha!
