Here are a couple of ways I use it up to make room for a fresh batch, Kimchi Buchim (Kimchi Pancake) Ingredients 1/2 cup kimchi 1/4 pound pork loin, loin chop, picnic shoulder, blade roast, or even ham 1 bunch of scallions, spring, or green onion 2 fresh red chili or jalapeno peppers 1 small white onion Vegetable cooking oil as needed for frying Batter Ingredients 1 egg 1 3/4 cup flour 1/4 cup corn or potato starch 2 cup ice cold water 1 tablespoon pure roasted sesame seed oil (NOT cold pressed oil) 1/2 teaspoon salt Dip ingredients 2 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon chopped scallion, spring, or green onion 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seed oil 1 teaspoon coarse ground chili powder 1 teaspoon sugar Directions Preparation: Pork Slice the pork into long thin strips, lightly salt, and let stand for 15 minutes Vegetables Slice larger scallion/green onion in half lengthwise, then cut to 1 inch lengths. Slice the onion, then cut each slice in half and separate the layers. Slice the peppers (discard seeds, or save for drying) into thin slivers. Press excess moisture from kimchi. Save about 2 teaspoons of the juice to add to batter. Toss together in a medium bowl Dip: In a small bowl, mix all dip ingredients. Stir well and set aside. Batter: In a small mixing bowl: Whip egg and sesame oil together with a whisk, fork, or slotted spoon. In a medium to large mixing bowl: Mix dry ingredients (flour, starch, salt). Add egg mixture, kimchi juice, and water. Stir until well mixed. (Batter should be slightly thinner than standard pancake batter.) Cooking: Preheat large flat bottomed skillet (pancake griddle to 350º) over high heat. Lightly oil griddle or skillet. Add pork strips and lightly brown them. (30 to 45 seconds) Add to bowl with veggies and toss. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Ladle batter into skillet (six to eight inch diameter cake) and quickly add the tossed ingredients evenly over the batter. When the underside is lightly browned carefully flip the pancake. (check by slightly lifting one edge with spatula) Repeat until golden brown on both sides. Edges should be slightly crisp. Repeat process until all the batter is used. (pancakes may be kept in warm oven until cooking is done). Cut pancakes into approximately 1 inch by 1 inch sections and serve with dip as a snack or as a side dish with a Korean meal. Unused cooked pancakes may be frozen for later use. To reheat - Wrap in tin foil and place in 350º oven for about 10 minutes. Add 5 minutes for each additional pancake.

Roast brussels sprouts, set aside. Fry bacon, remove from pan. Fry sprouts in bacon drippings Add chopped kimchee and juice Add chopped bacon and chopped fresh mint. Tue Jul 17 09:03:08 -0700 2007 2757091 95754 Honey Bee 2 2757185 That sounds really good. I love bacon, and brussels sprouts, and of course kimchi .... Tue Jul 17 09:07:37 -0700 2007 2757163 93805 hannaone 2 2757219 KIMCHEE FRIED RICE!!!!!!!! I'm no good with measurements for recipes, but if you are using your kimchee dregs you probably know how to make fried rice. I add: squash scallion SPAM! green bean egg...........and any random yummies in my fridge....... old rice from cooker white pepper touch of sesame oil Add kimchee /juice at the end Tue Jul 17 09:13:48 -0700 2007 2757163 15987 eatalot 3 2757355 Kimchi fried rice is my youngest son's favorite dish (next to soon tobu jjigae). A tip on the old rice - if you sprinkle it with a little water, cover it, and microwave for about a minute, it's much easier to mix in the pan with your other ingredients. Tue Jul 17 09:43:04 -0700 2007 2757219 93805 hannaone 3 4587959 Ditto plus sunny side up egg on top... Sat Apr 11 16:10:22 -0700 2009 2757219 63444 groover808 1 2757419 Kimchi burgers. Good quality ground beef or pork. A fresh kaiser roll. Form and cook burger. Slice roll. Insert patty and top it with kimchi. Yum. Tue Jul 17 10:00:46 -0700 2007 2757091 42449 mrbozo 2 2757490 Add a hard fried egg and sliced cucumber to the toppings. Fantastic. Tue Jul 17 10:12:59 -0700 2007 2757419 93805 hannaone 2 2759071 Kimchee (fresh or not so fresh) is great on hot dogs as well Tue Jul 17 16:45:59 -0700 2007 2757419 57890 KaimukiMan 1 2757443 This is gonna sound gross and I was hesistant to even try it, but Kimchi Quesadillas are weirdly addictive. Brie and kimchi sandwiched in tortillas and BBQ'ed. Try it, the neither flavour cancels the other and it's a nice snack. Tue Jul 17 10:04:44 -0700 2007 2757091 96253 chocabot 2 2757482 Not at all gross. I do mine with pepper jack, diced jalapeno, onion, and garlic, and of course kimchi. Toss on a grill for some melted madness. Tue Jul 17 10:11:48 -0700 2007 2757443 93805 hannaone 1 2757479 I like to throw old kimchi into ramen with some pork belly. I also throw in any vegetables and scallions. Tue Jul 17 10:11:11 -0700 2007 2757091 10246 choctastic 1 2758291 Yum! Buchim and jjigae, and bokkeum bap are some of our standby's, too (Your buchim recipe looks great, I love the idea of potato flour to make it softer, that would probably help a lot in keeping it from being tough by the time it hits the lunchbox the next day) Kimchi-tuna stew is also a good quick supper item-- or mixing some chopped kimchi into tuna salad for lunch. Sometimes I also mix finely sliced sour kimchi with a new crunchy veggie, like cucumber pieces or (quick salt-pickled) radish slices, pour a bit of the kimchi juice and let sit for a combination pickle :) I've also made kimchi-brussel sprouts (though without the bacon) ! They smell quite strong, though, so I find that it's better at home than as a lunchbox item... Tue Jul 17 13:07:55 -0700 2007 2757091 49653 another_adam 2 2758561 Another great mix with sour kimchi that I just remembered: kimchi + natto! Goes well in omelets, or as a simple side dish. Tue Jul 17 14:06:08 -0700 2007 2758291 49653 another_adam 3 2758579 Kimchi is almost a "must add" to my omelets. I usually make omelets from whatever leftovers I have like bulgogi, kai bi, or fried rice. Diced kimchi with this just makes it that much better. Another use for fresh kimchi is diced as a relish on hot dogs. Tue Jul 17 14:11:50 -0700 2007 2758561 93805 hannaone 1 2758570 I dice up the kimchi and mix it in with congee (or jook). Tue Jul 17 14:08:31 -0700 2007 2757091 11583 ipsedixit 1 2759780 Kimchee on the side is oddly fabulous with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Tue Jul 17 21:54:36 -0700 2007 2757091 54251 rcallner 2 2762713 You should see T day layouts at my place - Roast turkey Baked ham Dressing Candied Yams Kai Bi soup Grilled Mackerel Stir fried squid Sticky Rice up to 15 types of ban chan, including at least three types of kimchi The turkey and ham sandwiches with kimchi the next three days are fantastic Wed Jul 18 17:18:33 -0700 2007 2759780 93805 hannaone 1 2762592 Just made this today and wanted to share :-) It was VERY good! http://feedingtheboys.blogspot.com/2007/07/kimchi-fried-rice.html Wed Jul 18 16:43:34 -0700 2007 2757091 46140 ctl98 2 2762716 That does look good. Kimchi fried rice is almost always a big hit. Wed Jul 18 17:19:35 -0700 2007 2762592 93805 hannaone 2 2762887 Yum, kimchi fried rice :) If you like it spicy, you can try using up to almost as much chopped up kimchi as rice--I think I go up to about 1:1 !! If it needs more seasoning, I just put in a little extra kimchi sauce. I like it with tuna, seafood sausage or spam/hot dog in it, and fried egg or a slice of cheese on top :) Wed Jul 18 18:13:17 -0700 2007 2762592 49653 another_adam 1 2764706 my kimchi fried rice recipe very simple =) first, make samgyupsal (three-layered pork belly) on the grill. collect all the excess oil.. i know this sounds gross but.. it's so necessary.. put kimchi in the oil from samgyupsal, and almost deep-fry. when kimchi is about to get crispy, put rice in, and let that sit (without stirring too much) until the bottom gets crispy, a la dol-sot bibimbap style. make sure everything is crispy and crunchy. this will require a lot of the aforementioned samgyupsal grease. the result will be very crispy, almost fried-chickenish kimchi fried rice. practically everything tastes good when fried in pork fat, but kimchi really adds something extra. Thu Jul 19 10:42:07 -0700 2007 2757091 24489 koreankorean 2 2764867 Pork fat rules! (Who said that?) Thu Jul 19 11:19:56 -0700 2007 2764706 42449 mrbozo 1 4073699 Dude; All this time I was scooping kimchee out of the jar (arirang) and eating it like salad. Im gonna try that stew recipe. All these recipes look good. Wed Oct 01 01:35:13 -0700 2008 2757091 189001 noodleloco 2 4075386 BeeGee (not the singing group). A korean soybean porriage and one of my favorite winter comfort foods. Soak soybeans overnight. Grind with liquid in a blender to somewhat find state (Not too fine: there is no wrong or right answer here). Sweat some fatty pork. Toss in the soupy ground soybeans. Cut up good amount of kimchi (best if the kimchi a bit on the ripe side) and cook long and slow. I do a slow cooker for half a day but you can keep it on a stove top for an hour or two. Season with salt and pepper and I sometime add some fish sauce. Have a large scoop over rice. Yum. Wed Oct 01 16:04:13 -0700 2008 4073699 10639 Soup 1 4273595 Kimchi is good on pizza, reuben sandwiches, hotdogs! Yum! Fri Dec 26 00:09:04 -0800 2008 2757091 244200 chinesechicken 2 4273717 My husband and I like to have natto and kimchi at the end of the day. Japanese t.v. programs tell us that it is good for our digestion, for losing weight, etc. But we eat it because it tastes great. Add a bit of sesame oil for aroma.
