Kimchi Recipe

Kimchi is a popular side dish in the Korean cuisine made out of fermented cabbage. Usually served with rice alongside other banchan (side dishes) but it can also be used as an ingredient in dishes like the spicy stew called kimchi jjigae and the kimchi fried rice called kimchi bokkeumbap.

Kimchi is one of the oldest Asian dishes, in fact it was referenced in one of the oldest Chinese poetry making it at least 3000 years old. The earliest versions were just simply made out of salted vegetables until the 12th century when spices and other flavours were introduced. Then on the 17th century chilli peppers were introduced to Korea which is the ancestor of the Kimchi we all know today.
