ISO: Kimchi

[Hondapendragon]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy kimchi for home use. Which brand is best?
Anyone want to share their recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

There's a small grocery store just west of Clinton on the north side of Bloor, down a set of stairs. I've been buying the kimchi there for years, and I love it. You can buy big tubs of it and, when it goes sour, use what's left to make kimchi chigae or kimchi fried rice.

Edit: sorry, I forgot to add that there's no brand. It's just the store's own kimchi.

It's called e-mart. Their kimchi is far superior to any of the ones found @ pat, tnt, galleria.

I really like their dried radish too.

Do you have any idea if they have a vegetarian version (without shrimp/fish sauce)?

Thanks!

Galleria Supermarket has so many different varieties to pick from... I usually go for the in-store house brand. Tho personally I like taking it home, putting it into a food processor and chopping it up fine, then using that on noodles/rice/omelettes/anything!

That's where I get it too. They make some without fish/shrimp paste for vegetarians.
