Description
Kimchi, fermented napa cabbage with gochugaru (red pepper flakes), is the essential and fundamental dish in Korean cuisine. Usually served as banchan (side dish), Kimchi is bright red, spicy and tangy. Packed with nutritions, Kimchi is the most integral and essential part of Korean culture. A variation of kimchi, stir-fried kimchi offers smoky and flavorful taste that pairs well with butter and oil. Mild and mellow, canned kimchi is more appropriate for kimchi jjigae or other kimchi inspired stir fry such as kimchi fried rice and kimchi jeon (kimchi pancake). Canned stir-fried Kimchi translates the original flavor by following through the right protocols of food export policy of Korea and the United States. What canned kimchi may lack in the crunch of the original kimchi usually expected at K-Town restaurants, it complements by its deep, ripened flavor from the fermenting process.
