This recipe holds a special place in my heart. The first time I tried kimchi ever, was the first time Tom and I hung out. We went to Korean BBQ in NYC’s Koreatown. The kimchi came in a small bowl at the beginning of our meal. I immediately fell in love. The ruby red cabbage tastes like Sriracha and honey dancing together. It is sooooo flavorful and I use it in as many recipes as possible.

Two of my other favorite ways to use kimchi is my:

  1. Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice Recipe .
  2. Kimchi Potato Chip Hot Dogs Recipe

NOTE: If you want to make this vegetarian just leave out the pork belly and use vegetable stock. It makes an amazing meatless Monday Dinner. 

I really hope you love this as much as we do. The best part of the dish is how easy it is. Drop all the ingredients in the slow cooker, go to work, and come home to a hot happy comfort food dinner. Happy eating and I am always so grateful to cook with you!

What is Kimchi:

  1. It is fermented Korean cabbage. It tastes like Sriracha and honey danced together. Sweet and spicy yumminess.
  2. It is good for stomach health. Since it is fermented it helps digestive health.
  3. When in NYC Korea Town you can try it at BBQ restaurant. It comes with other veggies for free on the side.

    It says 2 bottles of kimchi. How much is that exactly? I have a jar that was homemade and gifted too me. Is that enough for this particular recipe? Never used kimchi before. I’m excited to try something new!
