Kuniko made a great buy at school yesterday, and came home with 1.5 kg of homemade kimchee made by a Korean lady that visits their school now and then to sell it. I love kimchee, and luckily for me there is no need to make my own when I can get great kimchee at every supermarket. But the stuff we buy from this lady is really good, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. My other source is a kimchee shop in Korea town near Shin Nagata, but the owner always tries to get me to take her out for drinks, so I don’t often go.
Kuniko got home late last night, so after eating a B.A.L.T. we went right through the first package of kimchee. Tonight we’ll think of something else that can use kimchee as a base, and timing was serendipitous because my folks sent me a kimchee cookbook that arrived last night. It will be Korean for the next few days, I think.
