Do you like the idea of kimchi but don’t like anything too spicy? Have you had a whiff of kimchi from your companion’s plate and wondered if something died in that direction? Of course, I am biased, and I wonder if VFA’s Spicy Kimchi might be just right for you. It is spicy, but I’m going for medium in terms of heat and maximum in terms of flavor. It is also vegan. Don’t get me wrong– I love me some fishy, shrimpy, stinky kimchi, but this isn’t it. Garlicky, gingery, loaded with roots, and balanced with paprika (a trick I learned from my friend, Saida, who taught me to make kimchi), this kimchi is delicious, approachable and a great companion to any dish.
Kimchi update: a few of my retailers have some jars of Spicy Kimchi on their shelves though we are currently out of stock. We’re packaging our seasonal kimchi—Spicy Kimchi Rampage— during the last week of May and hope to have it at farmers’ markets for the first weekend in June and with our retail partners soon. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
