5 easy kimchi breakfast and lunch ideas

Kimchi and Bacon Breakfast Sandwich⁠
We just had to start with this one. Stack crispy bacon, fried or poached eggs, and a layer of kimchi between slices of bread for a savory breakfast sandwich that combines the best of Western and Korean flavors. A tip from our ‘chef’ Esther, use a white bun for this one!⁠

Kimchi toasty⁠
Imagine; extra melted cheese with the spicy touch of the kimchi and the crispy bite of the cabbage. Use our Kimchi mayo as a dip. Is there a better combination out there?⁠

Kimchi bagel with cream cheese⁠
Spread cream cheese on a toasted bagel and top it with our kimchi. The creaminess of the cheese balances the tanginess of the kimchi, creating the perfect lunch option.⁠

Kimchi Avocado Toast⁠
Don’t hold back on this one, spread a generous layer of kimchi on whole-grain toast, top it with sliced avocado, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.⁠

Kimchi Omelette⁠
Fold chopped kimchi into your morning omelet. Consider adding ingredients like cheese, spinach, and bell peppers for a well-rounded and flavorful breakfast.⁠ 

5 easy dinner ideas with kimchi

Kimchi Burger⁠
Mix chopped kimchi into your burger patties before grilling. Top the burgers with cheese, lettuce, and a kimchi mayo sauce for a delicious and unconventional twist on a classic.⁠ In need of more Korean flavours? Use our Gochujang as a marinade for your burger. 

Kimchi Soup⁠
Create a hearty kimchi soup by combining kimchi, broth, tofu, and vegetables. Add cooked noodles or rice for a comforting and spicy dinner option.⁠

Stampot with kimchi (and lots of gravy)⁠
Elevate your Stampot by adding a generous handful of finely chopped kimchi-kissed kale. The zesty crunch of kimchi meets the earthy goodness of kale, providing a burst of freshness to this beloved Dutch dish.⁠

Kimchi Mac 'n' Cheese⁠
Stir chopped kimchi into your macaroni and cheese for a spicy and tangy twist. The creaminess of the cheese pairs wonderfully with the bold flavors of kimchi.⁠

Kimchi Stoofvlees⁠
Perfect for these winter days. No need to add beer, wine or bouillon. The fermented veggies make it tasty!⁠
