"Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish. It consists of various fermented vegetables, most commonly cabbage and radish, and is known for its probiotic properties. Bright red in color, Kimchi is a flavor bomb of spices with gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes) taking center stage. It is also salty, pungent, and a little sour."
"Kimchi works with eggs because of the contrast - the smooth, buttery, soft egg up against the hot, almost effervescent zest of the cabbage and other veggies. To implement this hack, you can go the extra mile and make homemade kimchi yourself or simply use store-bought."
"If going the store-bought route, be sure to research the best kimchi brands before you head to the market, as there is quite a range of flavors and heat levels. Kimchi can be found refrigerated at Asian grocery stores as well as in most refrigerated or international sections of your local grocery store."
Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented vegetable side dish, offers an exciting way to enhance omelets and combat breakfast monotony. Made primarily from cabbage and radish with gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes), kimchi delivers a complex flavor profile that is spicy, salty, pungent, and slightly sour. The ingredient provides textural crunch and vibrant color to dishes. When combined with eggs, kimchi creates an appealing contrast between the smooth, buttery omelet and the hot, zesty vegetables. Both homemade and store-bought kimchi work effectively, though researching brands beforehand ensures selecting appropriate flavor and heat levels. Kimchi is readily available at Asian grocery stores and most supermarket international sections.
