Kimchi-Making in Queen of Tears Episode 13
By Kimchee Curator
A country kitchen, cabbage, a knife — make the batch, then the episode 13 recap.
TL;DR
Episode 13: Hyun-woo's mother Bong-ae makes kimchi in Yongdu-ri for the Hongs. Da-hye shocks them with her chopping. Recapped.
A country kitchen. Cabbage. A knife. In episode 13 Bong-ae makes kimchi for the chaebol in-laws. Da-hye can chop. That is the scene a recap will support.
Use the small-batch method already on this site: /blog/small-batch-napa-kimchi-masterclass/ and /recipes/tongbaechu-kimchi-classic/. The show is the door. Do not use a fan-wiki as the only cite; the recap URL is the footnote.
For another on-screen winter make, see /blog/as-eaten-in-cloy-kimjang/. Same cabbage, different village.
