Most people think of kimchi as a common Korean side dish. You eat it with rice. You eat it with meat. You can also cook with kimchi and make some delicious dishes. Soups and stews. Kimchi chigae. Or, you can fry it with fried rice. Kimchi fried rice. You can add some rice cake. Cooked kimchi tends to taste different. I'm Joseph C. Kim and I enjoy eating cooked kimchi.

That's me. 김재환

Kimchi is hot and spicy. It uses a red pepper powder called gochugaru. It will burn your lips!

I'm Joseph C Kim and I eat kimchi. I'm also Korean and I hope that I don't get cancer from eating so much kimchi. I worry sometimes. What am I supposed to do? Stop eating kimchi?

What does it mean to be addicted to kimchi? People use the word "addiction" loosely sometimes. Can you live without kimchi? Sure. Will you experience physiologic withdrawal symptoms if you don't eat kimchi? Probably not. You may experience some psychological symptoms, but they will eventually pass. I love kimchi and I couldn't imagine life without it. But, eventually we all learn to cope, don't we?

Kimchi just wouldn't be kimchi if it wasn't spicy. Kimchi has to be hot. It should make your mouth burn. Like fire. Could that really be good for you? If it hurts that much, maybe it's damaging our cells and causing harm? Do you eat kimchi?
