6 Foods Begging To Be Topped With Kimchi

Kimchi has been making an impact on the food scene -- the spicy fermented cabbage condiment/side dish has branched out beyond Korean food, making its way into a variety of dishes. You can easily find fusion restaurants in all the big cities serving kimchi on practically anything, and there are even food trucks in Los Angeles and New York offering a Mexican-Korean fusion -- even T.G.I. Friday's is in on the trend. And you don't have to go to a special Asian market to get a jar of kimchi anymore -- some brands are now national after being lauded in newspapers and magazines.

Check out our slideshow below to see some interesting recipes, from our friends around the web, that have practically become standard, like kimchi on burgers, hot dogs and even pizza. Plus, if you want to try making your own kimchi, see David Chang make his recipe from scratch in a video below.

I prefer kimchi on anything that is bland so you can ACTUALLY TASTE THE KIMCHI! So, I wholeheartedly disagree with most of this list. Give me brown rice or pasta. Good enough for me.

I make my own kimchi, thanks to the Korean grandmother of a fellow employee, and it's GREAT on hot dogs. Also, when I make potstickers, I make them with kimchi, and they're divine.

I like kimchi, but would never put it on a hot dog; only mustard, relish, onion, tomato, cucumber spear, sport peppers and celery salt on my hot dog. NOTHING ELSE!

You should open your mind and try it... never know until you try...

I tried a little kimchi once. That was enough. (Eew!) It might work well as a potato topping, if you like potatoes and kimchi.

KImchi ????????

On Hot Dogs ????????????????

Korean War veterans will long remember its potent aroma that riggers "flashbacks" similar to PTSD.

There's something which has been on the hotdog scene a lot longer than kimchi, it's called SAUERKRAUT! :-)

You should have included Kimchi Reuben sandwiches! Yum!

That sounds fantastic! I'm also thinking that it would be a good replacement for the cole slaw in a sloppy joe sandwich.

[KadyFox]

Oh my. You made me gag with that one. Sloppy joes are bad enough. Cole slaw on them, even worse. Kimchi? Oh NO! LOL You must have a strong stomach to handle any ONE of those things, much less a combination, without retaliation!

I think that our definitions of 'sloppy joe" may be significantly different. The one I'm referring to is kind of a club sandwich with layers of deli meat, cheese and cole slaw. You must be thinking of the "loose meat' type usually made with ground beef.
