What makes Kim Kong Kimchi different? Kim Kong’s kimchi ticks lots of health food boxes (it’s unpasteurised, vegan, gluten-free and loaded with vitamins), but most importantly (to Kim Kong anyway) it’s addictively, incredibly delicious!
Kim Kong Kimchi is based on baechu-style kimchi, made with hand-cut chinese leaf cabbage, carrots and spring onions. What makes Kim Kong’s kimchi special is that Kim Kong wanted to make something that tasted totally authentic and delicious, but was suitable for everyone (thus vegan & gluten-free).
In order to keep the traditional flavour and rich, deep colour Kim Kong source sweet, slightly smoky ‘gochugaru’ chilli flakes. While Kim Kong omit fish products (as would often be found in kimchi) to keep Kim Kong’s product vegan, Kim Kong has found that aged ‘aka’ miso provides an excellent umami kick.
