            H.R.  No.  72
         
               R E S O L U T I O N
            
                          WHEREAS, Kimchee has long played a central role in Korean 
         
            culture, and in recent decades, the beloved dish has gained 
         
            increasing popularity around the globe, and especially in Texas; 
         
            and
         
                          WHEREAS, In ancient times, the people of the Korean peninsula 
         
            began fermenting vegetables to preserve them for consumption during 
         
            long, harsh winters; the healthy, flavorful, and pungent product of 
         
            this process, kimchee, became a staple of the Korean diet, served at 
         
            every meal and incorporated in myriad recipes, from soup to 
         
            pancakes; in the autumn, family members, friends, and neighbors 
         
            came together to help in the labor-intensive preparation, providing 
         
            an opportunity to socialize and build community; this ritual, 
         
            kimjang, has been acknowledged since 2013 on UNESCO's 
         
            Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of 
         
            Humanity; and
         
                          WHEREAS, Many ingredients can be used in kimchee, including 
         
            scallions, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, fish sauce, and fermented 
         
            seafood; complex interactions among the elements during 
         
            fermentation result in unique combinations of spicy, sour, sweet, 
         
            carbonated, and umami flavors; although there are numerous kinds of 
         
            kimchee, including regional and seasonal varieties, the most 
         
            popular today is baechu kimchee, based on napa cabbage, salt, and 
         
            gochugaru, a Korean red pepper powder; and
         
                          WHEREAS, During the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, 
         
            kimchee was promoted as one of the official foods of the Olympic 
         
            Village, sparking an increase in exports; in recent years, Texas 
         
            has seen its Korean American population grow, leading to wider 
         
            availability of kimchee, whether commercially produced, artisanal, 
         
            or homemade; it appears not only in its traditional culinary 
         
            context, but also on everything from tacos to French fries; and
         
                          WHEREAS, A mainstay of Korea's rich cuisine for centuries, 
         
            kimchee is adding a distinctive zing to the vibrant diversity of the 
         
            food scene across the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
         
                          RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas 
         
            Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby recognize November 22, 
         
            2023, as Kimchee Day and encourage all Texans to enjoy this savory 
         
            treat.
