    Cook the kimchi in a pan and add your TJs frozen fried rice! It’s good for your gut!

    @constantwanderlust 4 года назад +12

    Tim's on the right track! I'm part Asian and I enjoy putting kimchi on top of stir fry or a rice bowl, it's good on ramen or Japanese curry too.

    Make kimchi fried rice, bibimbap. This is a korean staple.

      I second the kimchi fried rice, also goes well with white rice and ramen.

    Labne literally translates to plain yogurt! we usually add diced cucumber, mint and garlic and use it for dolma or as a side with rice

    Kimchi is Korean so it’s good on many Asian meals. Any sort of rice bowl kimchi is a great topping. For me it was an acquired taste so I had to try it a few times before I really started to like it.

  • @bluelove33
    @bluelove33 4 года назад +10

    Get the TJ’s veggie fried rice, add a fried egg on top, a dollop of kimchi, a drizzle of sriracha & soy sauce and some diced scallions...boom, delicious!

  • @jazminepouzbouris790
    @jazminepouzbouris790 4 года назад +1

    My family prepares the labneh with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and mint on top of it! Then we make sandwiches with pita bread. It pairs well with olives, persian cucumbers, fresh mint, cheese (feta, hallum, etc.) inside of it the sandwich!

  • @debiterry1940
    @debiterry1940 4 года назад +2

  • @AwkwardBirb
    @AwkwardBirb 4 года назад +2

    I don’t know if I’m going to get in trouble with people who eat labneh regularly but the way I eat it is I put a layer of it on some flatbread, slice up some fresh figs and put them on top with a sprinkle of ground cardamom and a drizzle of honey and it is SO DELICIOUS!

  • @cutseygymnast
    @cutseygymnast 4 года назад +2

    I watch all your videos and have always assumed your son was just camera shy so when I heard his little voice say excuse me I couldnt help smile he is adorable.

  • @deanna3223
    @deanna3223 4 года назад +2

    I'm middle eastern. We typically spread this on a warmed pita or use it as a dip, you must drizzle olive oil over the labneh (only way it's done in my eyes haha). You can also include others dips like red pepper sauce (any will do like the bamba), za'atar and olive oil (olive oil almost acts like a glue for the za'atar) on the side. I like to mix all at once. Typically dipped with a warmed up pita directly on the stove top.

  • @marygrott8095
    @marygrott8095 4 года назад +4

    I don't think I have ever laughed so much at Tim's facial expression. That one had to be his best yet! Also, thanks Tim for answering my unasked question as to whether the almond butter cups taste like the smaller ones inn the plastic container. Those are delicious. Benson was his usual adorable self. His "excuse me " was priceless. Very enjoyable video fro, a very down to earth family!

    Kimchi can be plain, kimchi fried rice, kimchi pancake, Bibimbap, Kimchi sujebi, Kimchi soup, Soodubu-Jigae, Kimchi dumplings, Kimchi and Mackeral Stew, Kimchi Pork Buns, Braised Kimchi and Pork, Army Base Stew. And it's not just the Napa Cabbage Kimchi, there is also radish kimchi, green pepper kimchi, Cucumber kimchi, etc.

    • @chrisryan9779
      @chrisryan9779 4 года назад

      however, I'm going to have to try that Kimchi from Trader Joes cause I've never heard vinegar being an ingredient. Also, Kimchi is easy to make your own, or go to the Korean store and buy it in huge tubs.

  • @kathylundy3380
    @kathylundy3380 4 года назад

  • @EmilyXiong08
    @EmilyXiong08 4 года назад

    Kimchi is a good probiotic food! It’s so versatile. My husband is Korean and I’ve learned so many ways of making this into so many things! Add it into any stir fry, kimchi tofu soup, mixed rice bowl, a side dish, etc.

    @LeeyahB 4 года назад +5

    Love kimchi! I didn’t even know TJ had it, must have missed it from my yesterday’s trip 🤣 there are already many comments suggesting how you can eat it so I’ll just advise to put a layer of plastic wrap underneath the cap or transfer it to an airtight container before you put it in the fridge, or it WILL stink up your fridge hahahaha

    • @vlogsbycaitlin3337
      @vlogsbycaitlin3337 4 года назад +1

      Hahaha this is a good suggestion! I didn't even think about that but it's so true. You kind of have to eat it quickly.

  • @fldhkybnva
    @fldhkybnva 4 года назад +1

    I love kimchi and use it as a condiment. It’s great with any sort of stir fry, with eggs, rice bowls, just a few bites after dinner.

  • @xevie37x
    @xevie37x 4 года назад +4

    If you haven't eaten kimchi before, the best way to have it first is to pan fry it for a little bit - it helps to reduce the "fermented" taste of it and makes it sweeter in taste. Best to add the pan fried kimchi into a fried rice! And for Tim, he can add the pan fried kimchi with some beef and make a little korean barbeque.

    • @jackiedee3639
      @jackiedee3639 4 года назад

      Agreed! Also a little pat of butter helps. :)

    I just eat kimchi plain out of the jar but my family says I’m weird 😂 they prefer it with white rice, in fried rice or in bibimbap. Oooooh and it’s really good on top of an impossible burger! That’s my sons newest obsession haha

  • @mandappleable
    @mandappleable 4 года назад +1

    Kimchi avocado toast, as a salad topping, eat it on the side with your rice/asha ramen. there are sooo many options, bascially anythng you would put sauerkraut or pickles on for an extra kick

  • @beckac4624
    @beckac4624 4 года назад +3

    You have such a lovely family. Poor Tim, I've had that reaction to stronger cheese too. I'm glad the beer helped. I love your videos, they give me more info before buying items. Now I want to try the quiche. :)

  • @cwang011
    @cwang011 4 года назад +1

    You can make an easy Kimchi Fried Rice if you want to try it heated. If I was trying to make an easy Made with TJ’s lunch, I would microwave a packet of the Brown or Jasmine Rice and grab a pack of Roasted Seaweed snack. Use a piece of seaweed as a vessel and scoop a small amount of rice onto it and then top with a bite of kimchi and enjoy! 😊

  • @audreycheng
    @audreycheng 4 года назад +2

    You can add kimchi to anything. Typically just used as a side to add crunch and flavor, like a pickle or jalapeño. Tim could try adding it to his breakfast burrito.

  • @pameladonovan7068
    @pameladonovan7068 4 года назад +1

  • @TheGizori
    @TheGizori 4 года назад

    Kimchi is good when it’s cold from the fridge. Eat it with hot steamed white rice and it’s a great combo of hot and cold. Eat it with a side of grilled chicken or salmon. Kimchi pancakes are really good too.

  • @knunez18

    freeze dried fruit you can make your own starbucks refreshers. add the strawberries to the sparkling strawberry juice.
    kimchi is always good with white rice mixed with sesame oil, coconut aminos and butter or fried rice

  • @amandabalk554
    @amandabalk554 4 года назад

    Making a kimchi pancake is a really good way to use it. That really mellows out the flavor of the kimchi and makes a great savory pancake. As a lot of others have said, it’s also great to include with fried rice. I like it even with plain brown rice, but I love the fermented flavor of it

  • @tiffanycheng217

  • @seeyouincanada
    @seeyouincanada 4 года назад

    Kimchi cheese quesadilla, kimchi bacon cheese fried rice for Tim, you can eat kimchi like a sauerkraut, also look up cucumber kimchi and that would be the same thing instead of cabbage, kimchi tofu fried rice, kimchi topped ramen, add water and broth for a kimchi stew. It’s such a great probiotic and delicious little kick. Glad it’s getting more popular!

    @dinewithangela2794 4 года назад +2

    You can use kimchi with fried rice, kimchi soup with tofu with lots of veggies, add kimchi in the burger, add it to the California roll or buddha bowl. Its smelly, but it's good for your gut!!! I eat kimchi with almost everything in my meals. Its a must have staple in the Korean families fridge. There's even a kimchi fridge thats sold in the Korean supermarkets!! The kimchi tastes even better coming out from the kimchi fridge.

  • @aliciawowor2455
    @aliciawowor2455 4 года назад

    For the meat eater, kimchi goes well with Korean style marinated beef, brisket, rib eyes, chicken, etc.
    Also, you can make kimchi fried rice, kimchi omelette, add kimchi to any Asian style salad, rice bowls, poke bowl, and sandwiches. You can even make kimchi ramen or spaghetti style kimchi. Kimchi also goes well infused into Mexican style food, kimchi quesadilla, tacos, and burritos :)

  • @dianalee441
    @dianalee441 4 года назад

    You can stir fry it in Kimchi fried rice. It's also a very popular side dish to eat with anything like eggs or any protein of choice like tofu. It goes well with the korean scallion pancakes or the Bibimbap in the frozen aisle at TJ. You can top any rice bowls, noodle dishes like ramen or incorporate it in grilled cheese sandwiches or quesadillas. Hope this helps.

  • @jokintz1

    Kimchi could go with pretty much everything! On salads, with rice and meat (meat alternatives), in veggie wraps, even with burgers! My favorite way to eat it is with rice and meat alternative (or fish) wrapped in lettuce!

  • @melanieresurreccion3685
    @melanieresurreccion3685 4 года назад

    Hi Katie, the Kimchi is a side dish to Korean meals. You eat it with your main dish. Most eat it with rice. Here is a recipe you and Tim will like. Mix the kimchi with cooked shrimp in a flour mini taco shell.

  • @nicn4873
    @nicn4873 4 года назад

    When I eat kim chi, I eat it as a side dish with rice and nori. I'd also put it in some Korean tofu soup. I don't eat pickled vegetables often now as I've heard it's correlated to colorectal cancer, but I used to eat it when growing up.

  • @SBakall2
    @SBakall2 4 года назад +1

    Kimchi is the national food of Korea. An entire country literally eat this every day. If you've never had it before, it may take a bit of time to adjust to the bold flavor of it, but there are so many things to make with it. Check out Maangchi here on RUclips. She has millions of loyal subscribers following her Korean food recipes. And like sauerkraut, it's great for your gut. sauerkraut is made with regular cabbage, kimchi is made with napa cabbage, both are fermented cabbage products.

  • @sonjaortiz6857

  • @janetlee7787
    @janetlee7787 4 года назад

    I grew up on kimchi so love it. You can cook it but we usually eat it as is with rice. For you, I suggest eating it with spaghetti (red sauce) or lasagna. Not mixed in but on the side. Bite of spaghetti and bite of kimchi. I like having steak with rice and kimchi too. You can have it with rice and eggs on the side. Rice and seaweed. Rice and bone broth soup with kimchi on the side.

    • @janetlee7787
      @janetlee7787 4 года назад

      Oh and make sure you refrigerate. You can wrap one or two plastic bags around it so that the smell does not permeate inside your fridge. If you leave it out, it will ferment fast and get a stronger flavor, which is good for cooking.

  • @karissanicole332

    Hi, Love your videos.
    I love FRESH kimchi. But once it's opened, I will have it within 3 - 4 days. I won't touch it after that because the smell gets really strong. 😁 It's a great probiotic. I love to have it with white rice.

  • @dewisloved
    @dewisloved 4 года назад

    Kimchi is great as a raw sidedish for any mild flavored meat and rice on the side.
