Kimchi is a good example of a fermented vegetable in Korea.
Many types of kimchi are available, depending on raw materials, processing methods, and regions.

The basic taste of kimchi is derived from salt, lactic acid fermentation, and the unique blending of ingredients including hot pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, and pickled fish.
