Bon Appetit Magazine wanted to do a special on Kimchi and contacted us for our product. As if that wasn’t awesome enough, yesterday we were featured in their article, “Why Kimchi Should Have a Place on Your Table” and it mentions how truly unique the relationship is between food and country i.e. Kimchi and Korea, among other kimchi tidbits. Read here to see what Kay Chun at Bon Appetit has to say about kimchi.

Just wanted to briefly congratulate Liza de Guia on her third James Beard Award nomination!! If anyone deserves it, it is her! She has such an impact on peoples’ lives with what she does. Thanks to her, Arirang Kimchi’s story (plus over 120 others’) was shown and heard ALL over the internet and TV. A HUGE plus is that she does this ALL on her own. She works her butt off and most definitely deserves the award. A big congratulations to Food. Curated!!!

And now, the short on Arirang Kimchi:

Kimchi Fact: Kimchi is neither vegan nor vegetarian

vicky — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:54:35 +0000

Oftentimes people ask me if kimchi is vegetarian. What’s more disturbing is that many vegans/vegetarians have been consuming kimchi under the assumption that it’s a vegetarian/vegan food. I felt the need to educate. Traditionally, kimchi is not a vegetarian/vegan- friendly food. Some of kimchi’s base ingredients include fish sauce, salted shrimp, anchovy sauce or some kind of seafood. With that said, if you’re a pescatarian, then you’re in the clear but if your diet consists of a strict no meat, no animal by-product rule, then you probably can’t eat most of the kimchi that’s out there.

Fortunately, Arirang Kimchi offers a most tasty vegetarian/vegan-friendly option. No seafood is included but we do put the same exact amount of Tender Loving Care into making it. It’ll be entering stores slowly but if you’d like to make an order online, just email us and ask. I had a couple of my very strict vegan friends be my taste-testers and they approve 100%. We expect many orders coming in very soon. Until next time, stay fresh, stay delicious!

Recipe of the day: Kimchi Ravioli

vicky — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 03:35:19 +0000

Kimchi is such a versatile food, you really can consume it by cooking it, topping it, layering it, stuffing it or eating it straight out of the jar! Today we bring you Homemade Kimchi Ravioli! Hand-made ravioli from scratch, stuffed with a kimchi-ricotta filling and drenched in a kimchi bolognese sauce. You’d think that the kimchi in both the filling and the sauce is redundant, but with the perfect balance of ingredients, just you wait and see how delicious it can be!

Great news everybody! Arirang Kimchi had the pleasure of working with Liza De Guia of Food Curated (www.foodcurated.com). She claims that she loved our kimchi so much that she had to do a piece on us. When we were asked to do it, our prompt answer was a big, fat “YES!”. A big THANK YOU to Liza and we hope you enjoy the video.

On another note, please join us at the Grand Opening of The Northside Market in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (www.northside-market.com). We will be there along with other vendors providing goodies galore. Don’t miss out!
