I love the Korean dish called ‘Namul’. I understand ‘Namul’ and Japan’s ‘Aemono’ are same type of dish, that is basically seasoned vegetables. I usually season ‘Namul’ with a small amount of grated Garlic, Salt and Sesame Oil. Today I added a very small amount of Vinegar and it improved the flavour. The vinegar also made the colour of Red Cabbage brighter. Just 1 teaspoon of Vinegar made such a difference!
