3. Kimchi
You guys know that Kimchi is a staple in Korea!
There are people who hesitate on getting Kimchi because it's usually kept in the refrigerator.
That's why we recommend the stir-fried kimchi! Tourists would always bring a dozen of these back home after visiting Korea! This is perfect for you if you miss Kimchi as it can be stored at room temperature.
Although having ready-to-eat Kimchi is convenient, if you'd like to make fresh Kimchi at home, we'd recommend trying the Semie's Kitchen Fresh Kimchi!
This product has quickly become a new must-have item from Korea in 2022 because it tastes like the traditional taste of Korean Kimchi. Just prepare the necessary ingredients and you'll have a homemade Kimchi in no time!
