The most popular ways to use Kimchi (5 Kimchi Recipes) 

I was introduced to kimchi by my daughter who’s best friend in elementary school was Korean. My daughter would always eat dinner at their house and tell me how delicious it was . She even helped them make kimchi with the grandma. I eventually started to taste foods she’d bring home and now it’s one of my favorite foods!!! I make Korean foods all the time.

Im so appreciative that you brought in actual korean people to help give perspective and insight! Ive been ignoring a kimchi in the back of my fridge for a while since I wasnt sure what to do with it but now i look forward to playing around with it in my meals more!

The format of these videos is off the chain. Listening to someone spew their culture, organically, and you enact it out as they're talking is some weird form of poetry.

“We could all use a little more kimchi in our life” me who owns an expensive kimchi fridge and almost always has at least 5 different kimchis: *nods in agreement*

A lot of people think of kimchi as a side that's serves cold, I know I did. But it Korea I was at a restaurant they actually fried it right in front of me and changed the flavor completely. It's awesome and versatile

I'm from Korea 🇰🇷 and I realized I still have quite many things I can talk about this 🤣 So here are my tips and more explanations about each of the ways he introduced in the video :p 1.Stir fried rice Adding an omlet on top is good too but I think adding an sunny side up egg(or completely cooked egg if u don't like sunny side up) is more commonl and we can add more ingredients to the rice like tuna, bacon, sausage, etc Also we sometimes add shredded mozzarella cheese on top and melt it! 2.Kimchi jeon(pancake) The way he showed in the video is common way for green onion jeon but not kimchi jeon. We just cut kimchi into small pieces and add jeon powder mix, water, egg to make right consistency then also add tunna(optional). You can add shredded mozzarella cheese on top when it's almost done and melt it or before you flip it. 3.Bibimbap Bibimbap just means rice mixed with various things like vegetable side dishes, meat dishes or just cooked seaoned meat just with salt, pepper, garlic, soy sauce, and gochujang which is Korean chilli paste. In short, it's just rice, gochujang, anything you want to add. So you can put kimchi in bibimbap :p Also sunny side up egg, sesame seeds, and seeame seed oil are optional. 4.Banchan Banchan is Korean word for side dishes. We can cook kimchi to make other dishes but kimchi itself is a good banchan. Fermented kimchi is good too but freshly made kimchi and suyouk which is pork boiled in Korean style tastes really good 👍 5.Kimchi Munchie I dunno what the word muchie is. We don't use that word here. Or maybe it's an English expression i dunno. We eat kimchi that way but we don't really have name for it. When there's nothing to eat at home but if i have just 2 ingredients(eggs and seaweed, it's because Koreans always have rice and kimchi at home) then i can eat like this. If I'm not busy i can stir fry kimchi(I add perilla oil in the end not sesame oil). 6.Jjigae Stiry fry kimchi(you can skip it), and add tuna or ham or sausage or pork(belly, leg, or neck part) then pour water(vegetable or chicken stock if you want for better flavor) and boil also don't forget to season well. It's one of the stews we eat often here. I hope my tips are useful for everybody who are curious about Korean food :)

Kimchi pancakes on a rainy day *chef’s kiss* 👩‍🍳

One thing I will say: If you are cooking the kimchi, it kills off the probiotics so you don't benefit from them in certain dishes. However, the dish is still pre-biotic as it has all the things that gut bacteria likes to munch on, so I suppose it balances out in the end. ^_^

These videos are so warming and comfortable and delicious. I dig the music. It almost makes me cry cuz im eating markerel out of the can with some mango hot sauce and a giant container of spring mix and baby spinach...just eating it all with my hands and chopstixs lmao and thinking of eating what you are making as you are talking to the person describing it. Bringing the flavor of the culture to my eyes....this just makes me so happy. Love your videos. I Always enjoy them. Cant wait to watch them again when i try and make this stuff myself for my family.

thank you for the in depth culture and history dive! i appreciate that you featured korean american voices and experiences!!

Really liked this style of video. It was a cooking video but done in a different way and it's such a great story telling method!

Great info! I love the different versions which are slowly becoming more popular here in America. My friend Danny moved to New York from South Korea with his family when he was a child. His grandmother would make a bunch of kimchi varieties and store them in the backyard. I always remember all the different flavors coming from their house and occasionally would be offered some of the delicious food they made.

My mother escaped East Germany when she was 19. She moved to the U.S. when she was about 30. I always related to the 2 Korean kids in school because our lunch always smelled funny. Sauerkraut. With. Everything... my dad was in the military and was stationed in Korea. One day I brought some kimchi home from school that my friend gave me. Changed my mom's life lol! I'll eat just about any fermented food but sauerkraut and kimchi are basically my 2 favorite foods. In fact, I just made 3 gallons of kimchi this past weekend. I put it in almost everything haha.

What a cool way to show recipes, culture & respect at the same time ♥️

This was the first video with Skype calls in it, that is actually enjoyable! Sound was clear, you cut the bits of the interview in digestible chunks (hehe) and sprinkled it with some nice shots of you creating the dish. Plus I liked the overview you blended it to see which dish we are at. Nice interview partners too and such a nice idea to just ask Koreans instead of picking whatever recipe there is online!

Pro pro PRO tip that you’ll appreciate: make that kimchi jeon with your sourdough discard and you will lose. Your. MIND. It’s so good.

Love this content. Very accurate facts and I love how you two back and forth with good questions and excellent explanations. As a person who live with kimchee for long time, it's wonderful to see positive and accurate introductions of kimchee. I'm grateful.

Wow, thank you so much! What a great video on Korean home-made foods. You got it right! You are very impressive in your understanding of Korean food. I will rewatch with my 12 year old son, who loves to cook and is so proud to be half Korean.

LOVE that you go straight to the source to get your information. Loved this video!

both the editing and the information on this were terrific. great work

Such a thoughtful presentation, thankyou, loved hearing your friends' recollections.

I just discovered your channel. I had very few experiences with Kimchi and I just bought some from the grocery store and I was curious on what I could build with it. I really appreciate the way you made this video. Allowing the people to tell thier story while you make their recipe as they tell it to you in the background is a genius way of doing a RU-vid cooking video. ❤

My favorite thing to do with kimchi, especially when it's been in the fridge for awhile, is kimchi fried rice. Endlessly flexible based on what veggies are available...

Love this and hearing the personal stories while watching you cook it. I'm lucky enough to have grown up in an area with a huge Korean population, so I have always had access to these dishes, but I like their personal styles and takes on old school recipes. Like the kimchi fried rice...I've always had mine with a fried egg, but making it with an omelet like Japanese omurice (esp with the inner egg a little liquidy) would elevate that dish big time. I know what I am having for dinner later!!

I was trying to think of what to make for lunch and this inspired me to make kimchi scrambled eggs. I chopped the kimchi and cooked it real fast in sunflower oil, then added butter and the eggs and scrambled loosely. I drizzled it with a little sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. I’m trying to develop an taste for kimchi, which is not a favorite for me, and this is the best way I’ve had it thus far.

loved this format!

I really like this video-- multiple interviews intercut with cooking the dishes they're talking about. This is the second video of Pro Home Cooks I've seen and they're really high quality videos, so I'm definitely subscribing.

I just ate some kimchi for the very first time! I had it on toast with some eggs and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be buying it regularly from now on.

My first ever homemade Kimchi is ready to be used today, this couldn't have been a better-timed video!!

omg, the eggy rice is a CLASSIC!! this video feels like home, amazing job. thank you for doing kimchi justice

Thank you for this video! I love Korean food but don't have anywhere close buy to purchase it. Ive been getting into just making it myself and with the weather changing, this stew is gonna be perfect!

So good! Cheers Mike. Just made my first batch of kimchi the other day so will definitely be exploring some of these

Oooh I’m excited for this! I have a big jar of homemade Kimchee in my fridge that I haven’t touched. I needed these ideas!

Thank you for sharing your experience and your recipes. We always get inspired.

I am salivating watching this. Really lovely video

Just made kimchi for the first time so I'm so excited to make these. Especially the kimchi fried rice and kimchi stew

Wow, thank you for the video, and thank you to the experts sharing their family recipes. I just ordered some kimchi and was looking for recipes 🎉 I will try these out!

Love this ingredient and love this content!

Saved to my favorites, thanks!!!

I’ve always wanted to make kimchi

Your video's are honestly creative, pure and convey a clear, fun and educative message! Thanks.

This video is made well. Good visuals and loaded with information on how to use Kimuchi. Kimuchi fried rice, kimuchi pan cake, stew, rice and much more ... Thank you

Great video for those wondering about how to use kimchi with the interviews of authentic people grown up with it. Thumbs up!

Excellent video concept, amazing job!

Thank you, amazing video!! I love that they talk about the recipe and u make it

Kimchi stew is the way to go especially with the colder weather #myhealthykfood #kfoodsuperfood

Yum! Thank you for sharing this...

its 2 AM, i'm a tad drunk, and just made buchimigae for the first time. it so good and so easy! gonna make that all the time now, thanks!

Amazing work

Milkis is a very popular drink, I loved drinking it when I was in Korea. I could eat some Kimchi soup right about now!

Really enjoyed this video! I've subscribed!

Thank you for this video. I love kimchi!!!

Love kimchi stew, especially on cold days - warm and spicy. Will have to make that soon! #myhealthykfood#kfoodsuperfood

Thank you for this informative video.

It seems like he just interviewed them and cooked the foods with his own understanding. It's definitely not the way I expected, but I love it.

that's so much effort into one video. love this one!

Love your vids Mike. Will try Kimchi.

Wonderful video, thank you!

Awesome job man! I learned a lot from this.

been making kimchi stew on the daily! one of my to-go's during quarantine.

I love, love, love, this style of video!!!!!!

made the kimchi pancake and it was delicious 👌 so tasty gonna totally try the other recipes next :)

Love kimchi, great stuff thanks.

That stew looks so good!

I think my favorite dish from this was the soup. I've never had it before, but I can imagine what the different flavors would taste like together. I hope i get to make it one day.

Love this. I always come home with a big container of kimchi when I visit H-Mart, then struggle to find ways to finish it. Kimchi fried rice is definitely going on the menu this week!

So useful!!

Good food + educational video,what more can one want! 😋

Hi guys, loved your ideas. I am making kimchi for the very first time today, even-though I have eaten before and never dared to make it myself. The very first time I ate it, I was in Fortaleza Brazil❤. I think I will try the pancake option. Greetings from beautiful AMSTERDAM.

Fantastic job on the format. You answered all of my questions about this foreign culture dish I’ve been too nervous to ask in fear of being insensitive or ignorant. Thank you.

Looks sooo good 🥰🥰

Thank you for loving Kimchi~ Kimchi is a traditional Korean food

These are amazing ideassss😂😂❤

Awesome, I especially love the kimchi stew, but I also want to try the scallion pancakes😋

Thank you very much! That gave me the new inspiration to go into Kimchi again, because I abandoned it for too long now. I love Kimchi and my favourite at the moment is fresh UNfermented Kimchi, it's so easy, fresh and so, well, 'fruity' somehow. It's just Chinese cabbage (prepared with salt and washed after an hour or two), scallion and carrots, with a paste of garlic, soy sauce, chili flakes and sugar, mixed together and ready to eat - delicious! And it will ferment over the days in the fridge anyways, so... :)

Aww I think it was so thoughtful and professional and nice to interview some koreans 💕

What a meaningful respectful exchange

Love this format. Will definitely make my own kimchi and try one of those recipes.

So me personally i love Kimchi. First time i had it was back in 2016 when i was an apprentice and my head chef wanted to put it on the menu so we made alot from scratch and i just fell in love with it. Was really incredible the way it tasted right away compared to say 2 weeks later after fermenting. Kimchi is deffo a go to snack and i am the most Norwegian u can get.

Yes. Peel the oranges for me. Sticky hands in school is just plain annoying.

Kimchi Pancakes. MMmmm so good! #myhealthykfood #kfoodsuperfood

That soups looks delicious

I looooove this video! I'm Mexican and Puerto Rican...California raised...and I have been making kimchi for about 4 years now. We love it. Mine is kind of a simplified recipe, good for a family of 5. I make it about twice a year...so I always have a jar we are eating from and another getting good and sour! LOL! We do that so we can make jiggae and fried rice. Our preferred ways of eating it. So good!

Thx 4 the vid

From NY I love kimchi and rice alone. Kimchi stew is my personal favorite

Great video!

I just discovered kimchi and want to eat more. Thanks for the ideas

My mother always told me that if you have kimchi in your fridge, you already have at least 10 different dishes regardless of your cooking level. One of my favorites is the Kimchi stew with fatty pork in it. Trust me I am horrible at cooking but I never was with kimchi. Chop up your pork, add it into a pot with kimchi and sesame oil, saute it just until pork is cooked outside then add water and boil. You can add tofu at the end and there you have a stew that can make you have 3+ bowls of rice.

I just make kimchi yesterday and wonder what to cook beside fried rice great video.

Just got back from Seoul and was in heaven with all the kimchi and kimchi dishes!!!

Mashallah Tabarkallah thank you for sharing 😊

*I'm sure to say not only me is hungry and have a mouth is watering, but also everyone here are same* *You make our day with this amazing video* 💕❤💕❤🤗❤

I really like this video style! made Sauerkraut last year and didn't really know how to use it up. especially since I'm living alone. wanted to try kimchi this year

This is amazing... can you do a series for different countries? If you like, I can help you out with German food (not Bavarian, Oktoberfest stuff) and old recepeis from my grandmom.

Gotta go with the fried rice with mushrooms FTW. #myhealthykfood #kfoodsuperfood

That Kim Chee stew was legit. Crack an egg in it next time also, hella good.

Great insight in different ways to use kimchi. My favorite was the pancake👍 #kfoodsuperfood #myhealthykfood

Kimchi Jeon(kimchi pancake) or Pa Jeon(scallion pancake) with Makuli(Korean rice wine) on rainy day combo is what you need!!!!

I just came across this. This is a very good video.

That's the youtube im signed up for. Thanks
