Most of us got to know about Kimchi in Korean dramas when these shows become extremely popular.
Kimchi is basically Chinese cabbage mixed with onions, garlic, radish, ginger and chili paste.
Below were the two types of Kimchi that I managed to buy from my local supermarket.
Both photographs above were taken by @delegate4food.
The truth is it was quite hard to buy Kimchi during Covid-19 as it goes out of stock really quickly.
It was fortunate that we were able to buy some.
My wife likes to cook Kimchi fried rice which is an easy dish to come up.
We are able to find many videoclips about cooking Kimchi fried rice too.
