How to use kimchi
With its perfect balance of brightness, crunch, and heat, kimchi is a natural addition to many Korean dishes. (And some non-Koreans, too.) As it’s eaten most often with a bowl of rice (using chopped sticks, pick up a piece of kimchi and fold it around a bit of rice, then pop a little bundle version in your mouth), there are countless ways to enjoy this amazing event. Here are just a few:
•The pot recommends stir-fried kimchi in sesame oil. Add the diced pork and water and cook until the meat is tender. Add tofu, heat through and then serve with rice.
Side Salad Drizzle chopped kimchi with sesame oil, rice vinegar and a little sugar.
• Stir-fried noodles. Mix chopped kimchi with a bit of hot sauce, ketchup, and sesame oil. Toss with udon rice or Korean vermicelli.
Dumplings • Combine drained and chopped kimchi with tofu. Place a small amount of the mixture on the wonton wrappers and seal the lids tightly throughout. Steam or boil until cooked.
Scrambled Eggs Stir-fry the kimchi until it develops and caramelizes. Add the eggs and scramble.
