The flavor of kimchi is a complex blend of flavors, including sour, spicy, salty, and umami. The sourness comes from the fermentation process, which produces lactic acid. The spiciness comes from the chili peppers. The saltiness comes from adding salt, and the umami comes from using a fish sauce or other fermented ingredients.

The texture of kimchi is also a crucial part of its appeal. The cabbage is typically shredded into thin strips, which gives kimchi a crunchy texture. The vegetables in kimchi, such as carrots and onions, are also commonly cooked, which softens them and adds to the overall texture.

You can enjoy kimchi in many ways, such as a side dish, add it to soups, or use it as a topping for rice or noodles. Kimchi is also a popular ingredient in Korean barbecue.

Here are some tips for a great kimchi:

• Use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
• Ferment kimchi for the correct amount of time. Over-fermenting kimchi will make it too sour while under-fermenting it will make it bland.
• Add a variety of vegetables to kimchi. The different vegetables in kimchi will add different flavors and textures to the dish.
• Serve kimchi at room temperature. Kimchi is best enjoyed at room temperature, allowing the flavors to develop.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12oz bag) frozen cauliflower stir-fry
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 oz kimchi, chopped
• 1/2 cup frozen edamame 
• 1/2 cup corn
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 tbsp gochujang
• 1 tbsp soy sauce 
• Olive oil

Toppings (optional but recommended)

• 1 fried egg 
• Nori sheets 
• 1 oz kimchi 

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok, add the minced garlic, and cook until fragrant (1-2 min)
2. Add the chopped kimchi, and mix for another 1 minute.
3. Add the frozen cauliflower stir fry and edamame, let that cook through, and mix occasionally, or until the cauliflower is tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir-fry until no longer watery (you’ll know it’s done when the cauliflower starts to stick on the wok or skillet). 
4. Once done, transfer cauliflower stir fry to a safe baking dish and top it with the corn kernels and mozzarella cheese.
5. Air-fry at 375F for 4-6 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
6. Add nori sheets, fried egg, and more kimchi.
7. Serve immediately and Enjoy!

Tips:

• For a spicier dish, add more kimchi as garnish.
