Seymour Public Library to host Grounded Goodwife program via Zoom

Seymour Public Library to host The Grounded Goodwife's DIY program on Zoom

 

SEYMOUR - Seymour Public Library will host the Grounded Goodwife team, Velya & Ehris, when they make kimchi via Zoom from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Sept. 22.

Participants will learn to create their own jar of kimchi. They need to provide the jar and ingredients. 

Fermented foods, which are loaded with good bacteria, can give your immune system a boost!

Jar: half-gallon or two 32 ounce.

Ingredient list:

· 5 pounds napa cabbage (approx 2.5 cabbages) cut into 1-inch, bite-sized pieces
· ½ cup coarse sea salt

· 1 cup water (preferably non-chlorinated—chlorinated water can inhibit fermentation)

· ½ medium onion

· 5-6 garlic cloves, peeled

· ¼ cup water (preferably non-chlorinated—chlorinated water can inhibit fermentation)

· 1/4 cup red pepper powder

· 1 bundle green onions/scallions, julienned

Link will be provided closer to the event.
