12 Kimchi Dishes We Love

We can't resist kimchi in a Korean restaurant's banchan spread; we sometimes find ourselves finishing it all before the main dish arrives. But we're also big on using kimchi in our home kitchens. Kimchi's distinctive funky kick pairs well with all sorts of ingredients, so we like to mix it into chicken salad, ramen, fried rice, and even use it as a burger topping.
