On the first day, they drew out about 30,000 Korean cabbages from the farm, which is located near the temple, and salted and soaked them overnight. On the next day, they rinsed and drained the soaked cabbages, and on the last day on Dec. 1, made seasoning and put them in the cabbages. Kimchi is a main side dish in Korean diet. Making Kimchi in early winter is a Korean traditional custom to prepare for the winter when it becomes difficult get fresh vegetables.
