A few days ago I made a great trade at the Bread Exchange. Su already contacted me a while ago offering me a Kim Chi cooking course with her mom. Yes, you read me right;
A KIM CHI COOKING COURSE WITH A REAL COREAN MAMA!!!
That is a dream offer since I consume quite a lot of this and I would not say I have been able to make the perfect one yet. Her offer even made me start to re-plan my kitchen. I really need a 2nd fridge for this.
Yesterday I got to try it for the first time. And it tasted delicious. I used it in a leek, squash, cucumber gazpachio together with a tuna sallad.
I have said it before, Kim Chi goes with everything.
The soup is of course easy to make.
- Cold cooked leek (just cook it with salt and keep it in the fridge. Nice in sallads or just to eat like that with lemon, oil and japanese chili, I think it is called Nanami Togarashi…)
- Squash
- Cucumber
- Fresh mynthe
- Fresh parsley
- Salt, pepper
A s topping I used
- Su’s Kim Chi
- Tuna Salad
- Furikake (a japanese mix but you can just as well just use some sesame seed or something)

your intuition was right – in korea we have separate kimchi fridges (consult wikipedia for that, also david leibovitz for kimchi:). beautiful composition!
just coming back from Korea yesterday with 5kg of my mom’s homemade kimchi!! hehe this post is inspiring and now actually I am thinking to try to make a different things with kimchi. maybe I will try first with your recipe:) me, korean, is too conservative to try different food type with kimchi since it comes with everyday food. I cannot live without kimchi for sure, but didn’t really make any effort to have them in special way. ahhh thanks! :)
ENVY!!! 5 kg. I think we ladies need to learn to make proper kim chi ourselves!
I can give you 1000 of ideas what you can do with Kim Chi ;) It goes with everything…
If you want to, I would love to get some traditional tips too.
I just cooked kimchi mit tofu yesterday. very traditional dish with drinks. simply you boil or fry sliced tofu, and fry kimchi with chopped pork or shrimp. yum yum or you may refer to korean blog :)
