Recipe Notes

*Kimchi is a very spicy, fermented side dish that is served as a staple with almost every meal in Korean culture. It can be made at home or purchased at most grocery or health food stores in the exotic section. *This is a great side dish for all kinds of Asian main dishes but it also makes a perfect main dish if you'd like to add a few additional eggs or meat such as pork or chicken.
