Homemade kimchi yum.

I find store bought Kimchi to be unsatisfying. Most home made recipes are on the very high end of my spicy scale.  I use 1/3 of the pepper flakes and round out the color with smoked paprika.  Not traditional but certainly tasty. I am sure to put my jar in a pail so we can save the golden Kimchi juice ( overflow) for rice and soup base. Best ever breakfast.... Leftover rice and a TBS  of kimchi juice.

Yay! I made my first batch about two months ago. Sooo good:) We go full strength peppers. We like it hot.
