Hahaha. And that comes from me, who can't cook Korean at all. ;P<br /><br />BUT!<br />I would like to stand up and applaud you for giving a spicy food a go. Kimchi stew is pretty up there amongst the spiciest yummy stuff in the world. <br /><br />Sweet Greetings<br />PierrePFxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896399490504189192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-86430895233058508882011-05-02T17:31:52.143-07:002011-05-02T17:31:52.143-07:00Hi Genie!

The most common kind is Napa cabbage kimchi.<br />You might be able to find it either as quarters of a head of cabbage or cut down into 2-inch pieces. Just make sure it has nice red coloring from the red chili. Some Korean supermarkets have samples to taste before buying. The kimchi will have a pungent, spicy-and-fermented smell. (An example of what NOT to buy: I was horrified one time to go into a local store and see American-made bottles of "kimchi" that looked more like sauerkraut--the cabbage was finely shredded, beige/gray in color, and had minced carrot mixed throughout--it did not look at all like kimchi (or at least the kind I'd want to use for this recipe!)<br /><br />If you ever want to give homemade kimchi a try, it is actually quite fun to make! I've got a post on how to make it here:<br />http://www.apricosa.com/2010/10/cooking-therapy.htmlericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16091864503693806315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169908068581653572.post-65378878400134856342011-05-02T03:03:06.595-07:002011-05-02T03:03:06.595-07:00This looks like a great meal for our current wet a...This looks like a great meal for our current wet and windy weather. Minimal fuss too. I like! For someone new to kimchi, do you have any tips on how to pick a good premade kimchi?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
