LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The world's first movie about kimchi,
"Kimchikhan," is currently in production. From Los Angeles to Victorville, new
kimchi steaks, kimchi chicken quesadilla, kimchi pasta, kimchi ice cream,
kimchi tacos, among other dishes, were created without the use of sugars,
standard salts and butter. Instead, they were made with natural ingredients
like kimchi and its sauce as a base to develop the sixth taste bud.
A unique hybrid of documentary and informative travel excursion, "Kimchikhan"
aims to reveal the healthiest and tastiest cooking secrets in the search for
the sixth taste bud! A fascinating story of health and the quest for
longevity, the documentary transports us on an eye-opening trip to South Korea
in hopes to change the basis of the food essentials we consume everyday.
Director Steve Shin's natural approach and love for kimchi has inspired
innovative dishes with the collaboration with a top chef. They have created
their fusion dishes with various cuisines including Italian, Mexican, American
and European. The documentary produces interviews with professionals and food
connoisseurs, including a professor of preventive medicine, a Vietnam War
veteran, a Korean restaurants representative, and key figures who share
insight around the history and functions of kimchi.
The documentary addresses incorrect notions of kimchi being spicy or salty by
redefining and learning about what kimchi really is as well as other organic
foods and more importantly, slow foods. Innovative and delicious creations
such as kimchi mini pancakes, tomato kimchi and kimchi tofu muffin are made in
the process as we learn about essential and basic ingredients like good and
harmful salts and using them to create foods like these mentioned in a new
way. Natural foods and ingredients are used in its form without being
processed or enhanced. Slow foods that are produced through fermentation are
the secret to many of these foods. On May 28, 2009, the "Kimchikhan" team will
unveil its new 31-item menu with tasters and the media at the Korea House in
Seoul.
Now the search continues as the production takes a step further to make
discoveries overseas in Korea and Japan. Select scenes will be converted to
Stereoscopic 3D by Hollywood's top converting studio Stereo Pictures.
