We love kimchi and it’s great all by itself—but what else can you do with it? We asked ourselves this question after we ended up with SO MUCH KIMCHI leftover from developing our <a href="https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/kimchi-at-home">fermented kimchi</a> recipe. Well, we started adding kimchi to damn near everything, and some of the results were pleasantly surprising. We’ve added a few of our favorite ideas from our experiments below—try them out and get inspired to make some of your own kimchi-condiments. NOTE—Not all kimchi is created equal. Some will have more salt, some more acid, and some more or less moisture. Our suggestions below are based on the Chefsteps’ recipe. But if you’re in a pinch and are using a different recipe or a store-bought jar, you may need to add some vinegar or salt to adjust the seasoning as needed.
