Wow! Now 300,000 views!!! Thanks to everybody who's enjoyed this little documentary enough to share it with others! I've really appreciated the kind words in the comments! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
SK Lee thank you so much for this video. I have made kimchi a few times, and I have to ask, how does She do this with her bare hands? My hands and arms were burning all night!. a friend of mine took me out for dinner at a Korean restaurant once, He was surprised I ate absolutely everything, and I said to him "I ate it because it was so good" probably one of the most diversely creative flavored cuisines I've ever had.
+SK Lee Thank you very much! Yes, I made some myself too and some kimchi recipes online forget to mention to wait for 10 hours for the bae chu (soaked in brine), absolutely glad I did it her way instead. Please send your Kun Umma my thanks as well. Cheers!
+SK Lee I've watched this video several times. It's fascinating. I follow your Kun Umma's directions, except I don't use sugar and only make about half as much as she does. It's absolutely delicious. After the second time making it I bought some gloves to protect my hands. I wonder if her hands used to burn when she made it as a child?
So many years have passed since I saw this film for the first time but every autumn before making kimchi I come here to re-watch this masterpiece to get the inspiration and to express my gratitude to the author and especially Kun Umma! I do hope that you are doing great. Take care of yourself and your family!~
Wow, I really appreciate this video. I really respect your Kun Umma. She is so funny and so light-hearted. May God bless her with many more years to come and you also for sharing these age old secrets of Kim Chi creating. Thank You!!
"Kid, you don't even make any money." 😂 I love her! Thank you for sharing this! You have a beautiful family. Watching this made my mouth water and put a smile on my face.
This was awesome!! I started out just wanting to see a kinchi recipe, but I came away with so much more. Thank you for sharing your Auntie(?) Much Love!
Love your film. I was actually looking for just how to make kimchi, but your film was really entertaining and gives a very adorable insight in to Korean immigrant family life. Love it. Thanks.
A peep into the Korean immigrant lifestyle. an in depth and real time expression of culture. It all starts with the most basic thing that brings us life and what brings people together. FOOD. You typically see instructional videos about how to make a dish with just the ingredients and directions but in this case It was more than just about the Kimchi. It was also about the people associated with it and their experiences of living in a particular society. How your mom was distraught about how to speak and communicate within the video and the fact that she spoke in her native tongue was brilliant. You were communicating to her in English and she was responding in Korean. I also loved the fact that she explained about how pro-multicultural Canada is because it affected the way Korean Canadians raised their children so they can know their roots. Not only was your love for your culture expressed but also the love for your mom. I loved it so much! Thank you for making this movie and congratulations on winning an award for this because it is well deserved!
I,M ITALIAN ...I LOVE YOU GUYS ...I LOVE EATING KIMCHI ...I MAKE MY OWN AND I ADD CLAMS & SHRIMPS ....GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR SHARING THIS ...IT TOOK ME YEARS TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE IT ....AT THE GALLERIA MALL
💞I love the way you showed your auntie, and made me wish she was my auntie too! I came here just to learn how to make kimchi.💞 please continue to show us and teach is more.
We make sauerkraut at home (which takes a lot longer to ferment). I love the spicy 'hit' of good Kim Chi and I see now how to make the real deal. Your unscripted aunt is hilarious and stole the show from the Kim Chi. Thank you for making this vid and Not turning off the camera when she told you to: those were the best bits and the way you spliced them in was awesome...
Watching this has made me love the Korean culture even more. I'm still in the process of learning to speak Korean and it's going well, and watching this makes me want to learn much more. Thank you! From a Hispanic who wants to learn how to speak Korean.
Thank you for sharing this video. I learned and appreciated the information. And I'm a westerner who loves Kimchi! Your Kun Umma is sweet, and sounds like any mom, grandmother, or aunt would sound no matter where you come from. This was an awesome video!
this video hit me in the feels a little bit as a mixed asian thats lost his asian culture. and your mom is so awesome! and thanks for giving me your guys' kimchi recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I feel privileged to learn how to make kimchi from such an authentic individual. I cracked up when she insisted on paying for the groceries :)
Love your Kun Umma, she's so sweet! Like how she told us to pretend it is sea salt lmao. I like how you filmed the grocery shopping part, none of other tutorial do that. Amazing how she can translate all the ingredients in cups for us. I know back in the days, most Koreans season the kimchi by feeling/experiences. Wish you Kun Umma stay youthful and able to keep making kimchi lol
very cool. I remember watching my mom do this too, but she never used any measurements because she did everything by taste. i'm glad there are people online that have recorded the approximate amount of ingredients. :) thanks!
This video is totally awesome and the Lady is an Angel with a lovely voice . I have no idea what "Kun" means and miss my time as a young man in Korea . May you - Kun Umma and all Koreans be blessed . Time to make some kimchi !
I am going to have to find the lady at church that makes the kimchi I enjoy on Sundays and give her a big hug. I never realized how much work was involved in making it. Thanks for sharing this video and thank you to your mom!
Miss Bong Ja Lee, you were wonderful in this film. Thank you for showing a Canadian White Girl how to make Kimchi! It really will help with our overall health. I love your funny ways. The sea salt switch really made me laugh….LOL. Be well and keep posting other recipes. I will watch!
Please make more videos of your mom cooking then I will subscribed. She's funny and can cook. Would love to watch more. And I like how you made the videos.
Great video. Actually I think Westerners could appreciate the fish. Italians, Greeks and Spanish use anchovies a lot. The Scandinavian use a lot of pickled fish like herring. I'm Italian and my husband is Russian/Polish/Italian and we LOVE kimchi.
kind of an old post but i just stumbled upon this now. I think when they mean westerners they mean north Americans (Canada/USA). In this case Canada as it looks like they are in Toronto.
I love this documentary, it is very educational on so many levels. Thank you for filming and sharing it. Samuel Kiehoon Lee God bless you and your family. Your mother is truly a lovely lady. Thank you.
Terrific video..your aunt is a natural star,,,charismatic...I learned a lot and may try to make it OR maybe not as I live near a good Asian market and get good (?) kimchi...Probably not as good as hers...Thanks for showing us.
My mother is Korean and my father is American and I grew up in a very rural community in Northern New York. I'm so jealous that other societies get to enjoy and embrace Korean traditions more than I did growing up. Thank you for this documentary
I loved this. Ive heard so much about kimchi. My ex-husband eats is all the time. I think I will try it now. I was afraid it was something really gross but I see it looks delicious. I love you aunt. You should do a Korean cooking channel.
Thank you for this video and a peek into your heritage. My sister-in-law spent 4 years in Korea teaching. She has introduced me to Korean food and culture and I'm quite enjoying it! Please thank your mother as well, she looks to be a wonderful person!
She is absolutely wonderful I loved watching her shop and talk and make that kimchi. I love kimchi and plan to make a batch for myself. I'm obsessed with it and eat it on everything. Thank you for posting this video it really made me smile.
Your aunt is absolutely adorable! I just tried kimchi for the first time and I've eaten almost 3 jars in 2 days. I'll have to go to an Asian market to get something more authentic
i'm in the US and will never forget going to a korean restaurant for the first time when i was in the military. I ordered one plate of food and got all those little plates of fermented foods, it was impressive. Koreans seem so generous
Well done. Your mother is priceless and reminded me of my time in Korea and watching my wife's mother and her sisters making kimchi. Thank you for the memory.
Thank you for this short documentary. I've been interested in Korean culture and cuisine for a few years now, and I have tried quite a few Kimchi recipes. The one that appeals to my taste the most is your aunt's. I make this very often and I love it! I'm actually making a batch right now, which is why I came back to see if I'm not forgetting some ingredient. Always a pleasure to watch your aunt and the way she intwines food, culture and heritage in her storytelling. All the best to your family!
This was an incredible film. I am so happy I found it :) Thank you for giving us such a personal insight into your grandmother's kitchen! As an Italian, I LOVE the taste of fish so I think I'll be trying this recipe for the winter!
Your grandma is lovely! It was an entertaining video and I truly adore how you emphasize the importance of remembering one's original ethnicity while growing up in a different culture. Hopefully more people will see this and be intrigued in learning about their own culture more! Thanks for making this.
Your mum needs her own channel, kimchi is all the rage as are all fermented foods can't believe all those good folks haven't tried kimchi, its an acquired taste but once you get it you need it all the time respect to you and yours bro.
Thank you for such a heart warming moment with your wonderful Umma. I will have to make this now. Tell Umma that we would love to see other Korean dishes prepared also. She's beautiful inside and out.
I really enjoyed this. Even more than the kimchi method I really enjoyed your aunt's anecdotes & personality. She's a treasure. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!! like others said, they came for the kimchi, but walked away with so much more. i would love to know how she is doing now? i see that this is some time ago???
I enjoyed this video very much! Thanks. I made some kimchi today and wanted to see how others make them also. I love your mom. I'm Korean and been in states for little over 30 years. I miss Korea really badly. You mom was hilarious!
This video was so entertaining to watch. I do like your Kun Umma. She has a sense of humor & even tho she said she is sick of this kid, it's apparent she loves you. Thank you for making this.
I lived in Korean for 2 years and learned to LOVE Korean food. I am seldom happy with the Kimchi I find here in the states. I am going to give this recipe a try. I know it will be amazing! What a wonderful video. I was truly engaged the whole way through. When I lived in Korea 1990's I saw many of those brown pots full of delicious goodness. I miss Korea. Your Kun Umma is so wonderful. I loved watching her and listening to her. Please tell her thank you very much for making the video.
I love Kimchi. I have been eating it for over forty years. I have not been able to find any real kimchi (fermented) for a very long time. Therefore I am thankful for your video to teach me to make my own!!
The first time I had korean was because a friend of mine knew I enjoyed different foods(Im always the one people drag to Japanese restaurants to help newbies order) and had heard a new korean restaurant openned up. I fell in love immediately with the food, the culture, the music, the tv shows. I regularly make korean food at home for my husband and he loves it also. I'm making kimchi tonight and he is actually cleaning the kitchen for me he is that excited about having kimchi.
You "had korean" LOl what what korean did you have :P I love korean culture also I know they aren't 100% clean, but they are a beautiful culture non-the-less :D
So touched that Kun Umma shared how to create authentic Kimchi in your home. I'm learning how important probiotics are and cultural food often is complemented with touches of fermented food.
WOW. was not expecting anything like this. i was inspired and touched by this video, had me in tears three separate times. you are a great filmmaker and your mom is a master at what she does.
So much fun. Thank you for letting me enter your family home. Very comforting to my spirit. I love your mom's change when your suggested Kimchi. "Kimchi? maybe?". I think they should serve Kimchi in hospitals to add probiotics to people's gut and flavour to hospital food. :-D
Great video, I enjoyed it very much. And I really like your Kun Umma. You should keep up with the tradition of kimchi making at home and you should keep another Korean tradition, which is to share home made kimchi. So when Kun Umma gets to old to do it herself, she doesn't need to resort to store bought. It will never be the same as each family has their own recipe for traditional kimchi. BTW. Kun Umma was wrong about this westerner, I love fish sauce, but I have trouble with hot spices as I am not used to it. Hot spices aren't a part of historical German food culture. Things are changing these days. We discover new food from around the world and we like it very much. But traditional German cuisine just is what most people eat foremost and it just isn't very spicy and never hot.
I was just trying to find recipe today but enjoyed your info. Thank you for sharing your family and your culture so publicly. I pray others enjoy your site as much as I did. Many times Americans forget there are other people here with many ideals and customs. It is a pleasure to view yours. Again thank you for sharing this as well as the recipe.
I so loved your video and especially her story of your culture. Please tell her it was entertaining and very informative and I am actually, as a Westerner of Puerto Rican decent am making Kimchi today. I have tasted it before and I'm doing enjoy the flavor. I will be making a milder version since I can longer have spicy foods due to my present medical condition. I am grateful for the time your Mama spent sharing her recipe and your culture. It is so important to preserve our individual cultures for our family and the people we love. Thank you again!
Oh my goodness, I just wanted a Kimchi recipe, but this was so much more! How special. I need a Kun Umma in my life! Beautiful. Love this little cultural story. Thank you!
Just want to say be proud of your heritage. You showed in your video real family tradition. Kun reminds me of my Step brothers grandmother Kim, She gave me my first Kimchi and taught me good things come to those who wait. Keep up the Documentary of the family. Tradition and the way of life for Korean Immigrants that come to the west. Love the video and I subscribed.
Wow! Now 300,000 views!!!
Thanks to everybody who's enjoyed this little documentary enough to share it with others! I've really appreciated the kind words in the comments!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

+SK Lee Dude, when she had to get the phone books to reach the counter, I lost it.
+Eric Lloyd You can get a pair of disposable plastic gloves to protect your hands.
So many years have passed since I saw this film for the first time but every autumn before making kimchi I come here to re-watch this masterpiece to get the inspiration and to express my gratitude to the author and especially Kun Umma! I do hope that you are doing great. Take care of yourself and your family!~
This was so very sweet. Your great aunt is a wonderful person.
Wow, I really appreciate this video. I really respect your Kun Umma. She is so funny and so light-hearted. May God bless her with many more years to come and you also for sharing these age old secrets of Kim Chi creating. Thank You!!

Big mama's make life worth living.
There is just something very comforting about this video.. thankyou for sharing your life : )
Love your Kun Umma, she's so sweet! Like how she told us to pretend it is sea salt lmao.

Amazing how she can translate all the ingredients in cups for us. I know back in the days, most Koreans season the kimchi by feeling/experiences.
Wish you Kun Umma stay youthful and able to keep making kimchi lol
Kun Umma and you just made a wonderful documentary, vlog, recipe. Thanks for both of you!
Wonderful documentary! And a fascinating insight on Korean culture to boot.
I spent 3 months in South Korea in 1980, wonderful place, beautiful friendly people, and food fit for gods. and I still love kimchi.
Loved how you kept in all the parts she didn't want you to show, esp. when she started shaking in all that fish sauce xD
very cool. I remember watching my mom do this too, but she never used any measurements because she did everything by taste. i'm glad there are people online that have recorded the approximate amount of ingredients. :) thanks!
This video is totally awesome and the Lady is an Angel with a lovely voice . I have no idea what "Kun" means and miss my time as a young man in Korea . May you - Kun Umma and all Koreans be blessed .
Time to make some kimchi !
"Kun" means "big" and in this case means "older than" or "senior to" somebody
* J Wilson - Thanks
Master Tracker what is the kind of pepper powder she uses?
Master Tracker s
@@josephmatto962 I think it is gochugaru! Korean hot pepper chilli flakes
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
This is the most adorable video. Thank you for filming it! Very informative!

What a beautiful smile that lady has! She is very wise, listen to her and find a "sweetheart".
Great video. Actually I think Westerners could appreciate the fish.
Italians, Greeks and Spanish use anchovies a lot.
The Scandinavian use a lot of pickled fish like herring.
I'm Italian and my husband is Russian/Polish/Italian and we LOVE kimchi.
I agree with you my whole family is from Scandinavia and we do love are pickled herring
kind of an old post but i just stumbled upon this now. I think when they mean westerners they mean north Americans (Canada/USA). In this case Canada as it looks like they are in Toronto.
I love Anchovies, sardines, and the Kimchi from our Asian market, and Im a white boy from Oklahoma.
love this lady! so full of life and joy~ she seems to know what really matters; family, food, and enjoying life!
Adorable. I love to see this made by someone who actually eats it every day! Tell her thank you for sharing with us,
Really enjoyed the freshness and spontaneity of this charming lady. Thank you, Madam!
I love this documentary, it is very educational on so many levels. Thank you for filming and sharing it. Samuel Kiehoon Lee God bless you and your family. Your mother is truly a lovely lady. Thank you.
Terrific video..your aunt is a natural star,,,charismatic...I learned a lot and may try to make it OR maybe not as I live near a good Asian market and get good (?) kimchi...Probably not as good as hers...Thanks for showing us.
My mother is Korean and my father is American and I grew up in a very rural community in Northern New York. I'm so jealous that other societies get to enjoy and embrace Korean traditions more than I did growing up. Thank you for this documentary
I've watched a lot of "how to" videos on making kimchi, but your Kun Umma is the first one to inspire me to actually follow through!
I loved this. Ive heard so much about kimchi. My ex-husband eats is all the time. I think I will try it now. I was afraid it was something really gross but I see it looks delicious.
I love you aunt. You should do a Korean cooking channel.
I think this is my favorite how to make kimchi thus far it really shows the care that goes into feeding and caring for family
I loved watching your aunt - so authentic and real! Keep making films...
excellent documentary! the year I spent in Korea while in the Army exposed me to the great foods of Korea, and my favorite is Kimchi.
Thank you for this video and a peek into your heritage. My sister-in-law spent 4 years in Korea teaching. She has introduced me to Korean food and culture and I'm quite enjoying it!
Please thank your mother as well, she looks to be a wonderful person!
She is absolutely wonderful I loved watching her shop and talk and make that kimchi.
I love kimchi and plan to make a batch for myself. I'm obsessed with it and eat it on everything.

Great video! She is so funny.
I love this woman! She's a saint, I hope she continues to have all the happiness she deserves!
Beautiful! Thanks for posting this, what a delightful woman :D
love her spirit and sense of humor, for sure will try it.
Thank you for such a heart warming moment with your wonderful Umma. I will have to make this now. Tell Umma that we would love to see other Korean dishes prepared also. She's beautiful inside and out.
I loved the family interactions in this wonderful video. Your Mom has a wonderful personality.
I really enjoyed this. Even more than the kimchi method I really enjoyed your aunt's anecdotes & personality. She's a treasure. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!! like others said, they came for the kimchi, but walked away with so much more. i would love to know how she is doing now? i see that this is some time ago???
I enjoyed this video very much! Thanks. I made some kimchi today and wanted to see how others make them also. I love your mom. I'm Korean and been in states for little over 30 years. I miss Korea really badly. You mom was hilarious!
fantastic film, great story telling, great information, and I'm left curious if you have found a sweetheart
cheers
This video was so entertaining to watch. I do like your Kun Umma. She has a sense of humor & even tho she said she is sick of this kid, it's apparent she loves you. Thank you for making this.
watched this video 6-7 years back , hope everyone in the video is doing fine 💪💪💪
This, for some reason, is one of the best videos I've watched ever. thank you
I lived in Korean for 2 years and learned to LOVE Korean food. I am seldom happy with the Kimchi I find here in the states. I am going to give this recipe a try. I know it will be amazing! What a wonderful video. I was truly engaged the whole way through. When I lived in Korea 1990's I saw many of those brown pots full of delicious goodness. I miss Korea. Your Kun Umma is so wonderful. I loved watching her and listening to her. Please tell her thank you very much for making the video.
This is officially my new favorite UA-cam video! Awesome job!
I loved your video! Your grandma is such a sweet lady!! Thank you for making this video.
I love Kimchi. I have been eating it for over forty years. I have not been able to find any real kimchi (fermented) for a very long time. Therefore I am thankful for your video to teach me to make my own!!
This was wonderful! Love your kun umma! She's fantastic and her enthusiasm and technique is great!
The first time I had korean was because a friend of mine knew I enjoyed different foods(Im always the one people drag to Japanese restaurants to help newbies order) and had heard a new korean restaurant openned up. I fell in love immediately with the food, the culture, the music, the tv shows. I regularly make korean food at home for my husband and he loves it also.

Korean FOOD! XD
very nice film!. Nice mum and family! Your mum is great. She is doing such good work to spread the Korean culture in canada.
Looks fantastic, I cant wait to make it & try it. Thank you for taking the time to show us this dish.
So touched that Kun Umma shared how to create authentic Kimchi in your home. I'm learning how important probiotics are and cultural food often is complemented with touches of fermented food.
kiiiinda sad that there isn't a whole series on things this lady cooks. She is the best and her kimchi looks awesome. Excellent video!
WOW. was not expecting anything like this. i was inspired and touched by this video, had me in tears three separate times. you are a great filmmaker and your mom is a master at what she does.
Thank you for a peek into your life, sweet mother, and cooking...
Oh my goodness - this is so good. Thank you for making it and sharing it!
So much fun. Thank you for letting me enter your family home. Very comforting to my spirit. I love your mom's change when your suggested Kimchi. "Kimchi? maybe?". I think they should serve Kimchi in hospitals to add probiotics to people's gut and flavour to hospital food. :-D
Thank you for sharing your traditions, heritage, culture, and the traditional making of kimchi. Blessings
Loved this video! I viewed to learn how to make Kimchi but your aunt is a magnet! Thanks for sharing both!
Her positivity is so high! I love her
What a beautiful video, such an important documentation. This is just great! Thanks for sharing it.
Great video, I enjoyed it very much. And I really like your Kun Umma. You should keep up with the tradition of kimchi making at home and you should keep another Korean tradition, which is to share home made kimchi. So when Kun Umma gets to old to do it herself, she doesn't need to resort to store bought. It will never be the same as each family has their own recipe for traditional kimchi.

Things are changing these days. We discover new food from around the world and we like it very much. But traditional German cuisine just is what most people eat foremost and it just isn't very spicy and never hot.
Yes, German cuisine is also used to sauerkraut so I bet you do enjoy Kimchi. Maybe that is why I love it so much too.
I was just trying to find recipe today but enjoyed your info. Thank you for sharing your family and your culture so publicly. I pray others enjoy your site as much as I did. Many times Americans forget there are other people here with many ideals and customs. It is a pleasure to view yours. Again thank you for sharing this as well as the recipe.
I so loved your video and especially her story of your culture. Please tell her it was entertaining and very informative and I am actually, as a Westerner of Puerto Rican decent am making Kimchi today. I have tasted it before and I'm doing enjoy the flavor. I will be making a milder version since I can longer have spicy foods due to my present medical condition. I am grateful for the time your Mama spent sharing her recipe and your culture. It is so important to preserve our individual cultures for our family and the people we love. Thank you again!
Oh my goodness, I just wanted a Kimchi recipe, but this was so much more! How special. I need a Kun Umma in my life! Beautiful. Love this little cultural story. Thank you!

Fantastic video. Thanks for bringing us into your Kun Umma's kitchen for this kimchi class.
Just want to say be proud of your heritage. You showed in your video real family tradition. Kun reminds me of my Step brothers grandmother Kim, She gave me my first Kimchi and taught me good things come to those who wait. Keep up the Documentary of the family. Tradition and the way of life for Korean Immigrants that come to the west. Love the video and I subscribed.
