How do you eat kimchi?
I just bought a jar of it. Am I supposed to eat it by itself or serve it with something? I've never actually had it before or seen it served in a restaurant before, so I'm a little lost.
Answers:
You can eat it plain. It's just that it might be spicy, so grab a glass of milk before you try this korean dish. Some people actually like non-spicy kimchee. they will rinse the kimchi in water before taking a bite. This is also an option if you do not like spicy food. Me, being korean and all, like to eat kimchi with rice and a side dish. But, if you are just experimenting with kimchee, dont go into the trouble of creating a huge korean meal. It's pointless, especially if you find out you do not like kimchi. So, try it with rice, and if you do, then try making a side dish to go alongside it. Take it one step at a time.
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR TEETH TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PEPPER FLAKES STUCK IN BETWEEN YOUR GUMS. and please, grab a mint on your way out =)
