kimchee
Spicy Korean pickles
Kimchee is a Korean dish of fermented vegetables—most commonly napa cabbage—seasoned with chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce.
The fermentation gives it a distinctive sour, pungent flavor.
It accompanies nearly every Korean meal and appears in dishes like kimchee fried rice and kimchee jjigae (stew).
Also spelled kimchi.
