Is kimchi the world’s greatest condiment? It’s contentious, but one fact is indisputable – kimchi is delicious. The fermented cabbage is a signature dish from Korean cuisine, and can be eaten as is, as a side pickle, or incorporated into dumplings, savoury pancakes, noodle stir-fries and soups. Here, we have the best kimchi recipes around plus playful and traditional recipes using kimchi as the hero ingredient.
Don’t miss David Chang‘s kimchi masterclass, where he takes us through the fermenting cabbage process in a step-by-step guide on how to make kimchi; while Eun Hee An and Ben Sears share their recipe kimchi with cucumber rather than cabbage. Kimchi dishes don’t need to stick to strictly Korean recipes, either. Try Restaurant Hubert‘s kimchi gratin, the bulgogi pork tacos, and prawn and kimchi sliders — all recipes with kimchi that are worth making at home.
