Are you too planning to experiment with Korean recipes in your kitchen? If yes, then we suggest, start with the classic Kimchi. For the unversed, kimchi is Korean-style pickle that holds a constant position in every meal.
A traditional Korean dish, kimchi is "partly fiery, partly funky and a little bit feral", states veteran food critic Cara Waters. It has a deep-set flavour that makes kimchi stand out in the lot. Besides being delicious, kimchi makes a super healthy food too, thanks to the good bacteria formed due to fermentation. According to the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim), kimchi includes lactic acid bacteria that comes from the raw ingredients (used in the recipe), such as cabbage, garlic, ginger etc.
