Don’t waste it Add leftover kimchee to soups, stews, tacos or burgers for an extra kick.
Kimchi (or kimchee), from Korea, is a fermented mix of cabbage or other veg, flavoured with chilli, garlic and spices. Find it in some large supermarkets, Asian stores and health food shops or make our cabbage and carrot kimchi recipe. Some kimchi is stronger and spicier than others. Taste it and adjust the quantity you use.
