How many serious replies should one find in a “plz tell me how to eat food cuz I buy random things and ask random people what to do with it” thread?
It’s fucking kimchi.
You eat it.
You can eat it by itself. Straight from the fucking jar if you want.
You can eat it as a side.
You can eat it on top of something.
You can eat it mixed with something.
You can eat it from between the toes of that middle-aged Korean woman at the Asian massage parlor who’s a bit past her prime but holy shit what she lacks in youth she makes up for in skill.

make kimchi fried rice. add whatever meat and make a big batch.

>>16205755
I just never ate that particular one and its to spicy to eat standalone.

>>16205249
That shit goes so good with instant ramen, bro

>>16205249
Korean here, you can stop watching kdrama and kpop videos. Thanks!

>>16205951
thanks gook.
Is it true you guys get batshit mad when a chink makes kimchi?

>>16205972
Surprisingly we don't have issues with Chinese as foreigners like to believe we do. We have a growing population of Chinese-Koreans along with Japanese-Koreans. Look up one of Koreas most favorite foods that are Chinese inspired: jjajangmyeon & Jjamppong

If you happen to live near a korean population, find a restaurant that serves it. I'm sure once enough hipsters try it, it'll be another meme korean food people talk about.

>>16205555
Im proud to be the ass one

>>16205249
Just eat it as a side. It’s not something you need to mix with anything.

>>16205267
A lot of things do that, even Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

>>16205836
Then try the most common way to eat it besides stand-alone; just throw some on top of a bowl of white rice and take a bit of kimchi with each bite. It will disperse the heat.
If it’s still unbearably spicy with rice, you should probably just opt for less spicy kimchi.

>idiots
what fucking answer did you expect?

real reply, i am being nice here, because you can google "what to do with kimchi" and the koreans have dozens of recipes for it
>eat as a palate cleanser and stop being a pussy about the spice
>eat on rice with other veges and meat
>make kimchi jigae
>make kimchi fried rice
>combine kimchi with any kind of noodles

>>16205249
Throw it out. Kimchi is abomination.

Why, the traditional kimchi dish of course, grilled cheese!

>>16206006
all the koreans ik hate chinese and japanese so idk what ur on about

>>16205249
Dumplings. Just mince that shit up with some green onions and the usual asian sauces/spices, and some ground meat.

It may be tempting to eat it all strait out of the jar like the fucking piece of shit that you are. But the shits will make you think twice about trying that twice, let me tell you.

>>16205249

It's mostly eaten as a side dish in Korea, but I like to just eat it on it's own because it's a nice low effort salty savory snack. Just slap a pile onto a plate/bowl and eat it.
A simple bowl of rice goes well with it if the flavor is too strong on its own.
For me, it's usually not worth the effort to go full kimchi fried rice.
It was a way different flavor depending on if you cook it or not, so you may like one over the other.

Use it to lure a korean gf

>>16205249
Throw it into cheap ramen
Make some bibimbap with it and by frying up some spam and eggs, topping a bowl of rice with it all
Chop it up and mix with ground meat for dumplings

>>16206558
well, glad you know all koreans globally but whatever.

I'm now inspired to make my own kimchi (it's expensive in US stores) going to do it in 2 weeks

>>16207732
That cheese is still fucking RAW!

>>16206357
you are more generous than OP deserves

>>16205267
pure retardery considering how fermentated veggies were the only way to eat veggies at all in the wintertime until relatively recently

make a basic bacon egg & cheese sandwich but mix some kimchi into the eggs while they're cooking

list of recipes with kimchi in it

How about just adding kimchi to ramen soup? Will this work?

>>16205249
Would unironically be good as a regular surówka, a side to your kotlety or whatever, polish man. But i like spicy food, maybe it would be too strong for you.

>>16207922
>it's expensive in US stores
You’re going to the wrong stores, fren.
When you see kimchi in a ‘regular’ grocery store, it’s expensive because it’s typically some artisanal (or wannabe) organic kosher vegan carbon-neutral sustainable superfood-memeshit, because the only sort of people who would but it at a regular grocery store are people who see it as that.
Most grocery store shit actually is labeled vegan, which means no anchovy.

Do you have any Asian stores near you? That’s where you wanna go. Massive containers of various kimchi, in all of its fish-containing glory, for inexpensive.

>>16205249
If it is good quality i prefer to keep it cold and just use it as a side dish. It’s awesome with charred and grilled meats, fried rice, nachos, and quesadillas.

Most mexican foods and american bbq are really easily paired with kimchi.

>>16207922
Same day kimchi is epic, but starting at day two until its ripe, its bland and unappetizing. Such is the way of the kimchi. Aging time is a key ingredient as well as the temp used to ferment it (long and very cold, not frozen). There are lots of styles of kimchi and optional ingredients such as tiny salted shrimp (saeujeot), kelp, korean pear juice, etc. can make a difference based on your direction but thats approaching korean grandma level of mastery.

>>16208633
Its as common as adding milk to cereal my friend

>>16209927
based. its fucking kimchi, its supposed to be dirt cheap and it doesn't pretend to be some sort of epicurean food. (However, some of the more traditional places have oysters in the kimchi and they are just absolutely lovely. could eat just that with steaming hot rice all day)

South Korea has an average high intake of salt in general with some of them consuming like 20g of salt per day which is insane. It's thought too much salt damages the stomach lining and leads to infections which turn into cancer. But they also smoke and drink a lot of hard alcohol too. There isn't anything specific about kimchi in particular that makes it cause cancer though.

>>16210079
sounds like typical jap scare tactics on >>16205267 part. there is zero PROOF that salt is linked to cancer nor that low salt is healthier than higher levels. Obviously high levels of anything is bad but this is just nonsense fear mongering.

>>16210123
You realize that people eat "Kimuchi" in Japan too?
