I used to have no interested in Korean food at all. I just thought it’s too spicy. However, since I started to live in Hawaii, and there were many Korean people and Korean restaurants, I gradually became more familiar to Korean food. Actually Korean food is quite healthy, not spicy (well not all the time) and use lots of vegetables.
I especially like tofu soup, Soondubu . It’s good as is but when you mix with rice, it’s even better. Kimchee stew is similar.
I sometimes buy kimchee (Korean cabbage pickles) at a store, but since I don’t eat it daily, it gets old and sour. When Kimchee gets sour, it’s great to make this soup. Sourness of Kimchee disappears, and it will be a delicious soup. Try it!
