Their sixth week in the military is now complete. It's time to celebrate this major milestone with a look back at this week in 2018.
On the 16th, Run BTS Ep 36, Kimchi Battle aired. In Ep. 35, BTS had made kimchi and in this episode they had a cook off and were tasked with using kimchi as an ingredient in the dishes they created.
RM, Jin, Taehyung and Suga were on the Napa cabbage kimchi team and J-Hope, Jimin and Jungkook were on the Kkakdugi team.
What I noticed watching this Run BTS episode was the positivity and harmony with which the members approached the task. It was comforting watching them work so effectively and good temperedly.
The final dishes were judged by their managers and other staff.
Unfortunately, Jihopekook lost the vote spectacularly (4-1) and were tasked with the washing up which they did with a lot of grace.

Also this week, on the 19th, BTS's interview with BBC Radio 1 presenter Adele Roberts came out.
This was after the AMA DNA performance but before the Wembley Concert. The vibe, especially from RM, is cautiously optimistic. They still didn't have any idea of how big they would soon become.

Adele Roberts also posted this clip on Twitter. Spot the jikook antics.

Prepped my seasonal kkakdugi batch. I made it smaller this time the ratios are better and I have the process down a little.better I think I have slightly too many aromatics but if so I'm just gonna ferment something else with the leftover ! Might make another batch later in the season since I made less this time 😁
Korean Bachelor Kimchi, also known as "kkakdugi," is a popular variety of kimchi that is made with diced radish and a mix of spicy and tangy seasonings. In this article, we will explore the origins of Korean Bachelor Kimchi, its unique flavor profile, and how to make it at home.
History of Korean Bachelor Kimchi
Korean Bachelor Kimchi has its roots in the northern regions of Korea, where radishes were abundant and served as a staple ingredient. According to historical records, Bachelor Kimchi was initially made by bachelors who lived in the countryside and had to make their own food. Over time, it became a popular dish throughout Korea, and many variations were developed.
Flavor Profile of Korean Bachelor Kimchi
Korean Bachelor Kimchi has a bold and spicy flavor profile, thanks to the use of Korean chili powder and garlic. The diced radish adds a tangy crunch to the dish, making it a refreshing and satisfying addition to any meal. The longer the kimchi ferments, the more complex and flavorful it becomes, with a deeper umami taste and a sour note.
How to Make Korean Bachelor Kimchi
Making Korean Bachelor Kimchi at home is relatively simple, and the ingredients can be found in most Asian grocery stores. Here is a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
1 medium-sized radish, peeled and diced into small cubes
2 tablespoons of Korean chili powder
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of minced ginger
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
3 green onions, sliced
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the diced radish with the salt and let it sit for 1 hour.
Rinse the radish thoroughly and drain the excess water.
In a separate bowl, mix the Korean chili powder, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and sugar.
Add the green onions to the mixture.
Add the radish to the mixture and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container and let it ferment for 1-2 days, depending on your taste preference.
Once fermented, store the kimchi in the refrigerator.
Conclusion
Korean Bachelor Kimchi is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a condiment. Its spicy and tangy flavor profile makes it an excellent addition to soups, stews, and stir-fries. With a little patience and the right ingredients, you can make your own batch of Korean Bachelor Kimchi at home and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
