Kimchee Stew

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!
