“A meal without kimchi is not a meal,” says a Korean proverb. In Korea, it is rare to find a home where people don’t ferment their own kimchi, and family recipes are handed down from one generation to the next with great pride. There are as many variations on kimchi as there are homes in Korea. This version from our humble Montreal abodes has managed to win many hearts.”
Tip
Fish sauce or dried shrimp sauce will give your kimchi a more pronounced flavor. Kimchi purists will be able to tell that you’ve added this extra kick to the recipe, but we believe that kimchi is just as tasty without the added sauce.
