I've learned that "made of" is for physical change with the original material's form still recognizable while "made from" is for chemical change with the original material's form still unrecognizable. But sometimes examples like the following are vague.
Is the distinction strict? I think Kimchi(Korean food) may be said to be "made of cabbage" if there is no condiments or ingredients added, but it has many condiments and ingredients added, so it could be said to "be made from cabbage", but I'm not sure.
