About Kimchi
10/26/2012
Arirang Kimchi takes pride in making a delicious food product that people continue to purchase and eat with their meals. This means that it’s a type of friendship or bond, if you will, between kimchi and kimchi consumer. The fact that someone continues to give us this opportunity to be a part of their lives is what makes us proud and grateful. So far, our ‘friends’ have not been disappointed and we plan to keep it that way.
With that said, our Manhattan friends, too, can now enjoy Arirang Kimchi on a regular basis! Fortunately, Union Market‘s new location on Houston Street and Avenue A opens up this month! Make sure to stop by and check out the plethora of cheese, fresh breads, produce, fish, meat and gourmet goodies they have to offer. Then, of course, buy a jar of Arirang Kimchi to eat alongside those gourmet goodies!
Additionally, Bushwick-ites! You should know that Bushwick Food Coop now carries our product as well. Make sure to become a member to take advantage of the discounted prices!
Finally, if anyone would like for Arirang Kimchi to be in their local neighborhood market, please either place a request with the store, or contact us at info@arirangkimchee.com and let us know where. We will work hard to get our tangy and yummy kimchi into that store.

Nowadays, kimchi isn’t solely found in the kitchen of Korean grandmothers. Enthusiasts of the pickled product live all around the world, and they are consuming it in all sorts of creative, untraditional ways. And here at Arirang Kimchi, we love promoting this tasty and versatile product. In fact, one of our favorite things about participating in food markets and cooking demos around the city is meeting Arirang customers and learning about their KCH (Kimchi Consumption Habits). You guys are eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as a central component of the meal or as a snack straight out of the jar. Whether it’s shredding scallion kimchi into morning omelettes, dicing up cucumber kimchi for a spicy summer salad, or pureeing napa cabbage kimchi for a gazpacho (true story!), you guys inspire us with your culinary endeavors!
So in the spirit of kimchi innovation, we want to know: How do you eat your kimchi? Send us a photo of your kimchi creation and a brief description of your dish. The brilliant chef behind our favorite dish will win a FREE Arirang six-jar combo pack of napa cabbage, baby radish, garlic chive, broccoli rabe, cucumber, and scallion. So go forth daring kimchi-lovers and show us what you (and your dish) are made of!
Email photos with brief description to info@arirangkimchee.com or tweet them @arirangkimchee. Photos may be used in future print and online materials. Contest ends July 31st.
