This is a cold and wet winter with most days being gloomy and dark.
I am not sure about you, when it’s cold, all I wanted to eat is spicy food.
The spicier the better.
Recently, I am obsessed with Korean food now and I wanted to learn more about Korean cooking.

I love having quick ramen for lunch.
I don’t use any of the seasoning packages in the ramen, instead I make the soup base and add my own ingredients and seasonings.
Imagine this bowl of steaming and piping hot kimchi ramen on a wet, gloomy and cold winter day.

For kimchi, I wanted to share a buying tip with you.
Don’t buy the bottled and mass-produced kimchi.
Buy it from your favorite Korean restaurant as they usually make them fresh in the restaurant.
Ask the waiter or cashier, they will most likely sell their kimchi to you.

Hi Smitha, Please look up the recipe for Kimchi online. Its a simpler version of Indian Pickles. Here are couple of links, for kimchi. You can use Napa Cabbage or Radish as the main ingredient.
