Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made of fermented vegetables (usually Napa cabbage along with radish and garlic) and spices. Various health benefits accompanies it. As it’s fermented, it contains probiotics which help your microbiome. And it’s also known to strengthen your immune system as well.
I always keep a jar of kimchi in the fridge. I don’t really use it for cooking but enjoy nibbling at it as a snack. I recently discovered Yumchi Kim Chi and I am obsessed with it. Not only is it delicious but it’s particularly healthy, so shall we cook something with kimchi in it?
