Yeah, I heard about the Korean food truck on national news awhile back. That was cool news. I love Kimchi! But Kimchi Taco? Well, when I'm in NY... Last Saturday I tried my very first Kimchi Pancakes via Maangchi's easy-to-follow video. Well, I didn't have home-made Kimchi so I cheated and used the leftover store bought kimchi, and boy it was still delicious! I ate that whole plate in one sitting! See photo...

Thank you. We do have a kimchi refrigerator so sometimes we do have old kimchi but not very often.

Wow, looks great! Nice plate too! I have to admit, I usually end up eating the kimchi before it ages for very long. I should let it go for longer. Do you have a separate kimchi refrigerator? I just got my brother a crock pot for Christmas, I should have him make this! Btw, I just ate at Del Posto last night. It was amazing! If you are ever in the city, you should check it out. <a href="http://www.delposto.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.delposto.com</a>

Kimchi that has been stored for a long time at cold temps and really cold temps can be really good. When we have kimchi that is over one year old I like to make Kimchi Jjim 김치찜. I do it in the crock pot using kimchi, country style ribs and potatoes. Let it cook on low for about 8 hours...

Hehe... I bet we could find the 'kimchee facility' if we just followed our noses... Hope the neighbors like kimchee! I did hear about the kimchi shortage in Korea... I also heard about contaminated kimchi coming from China (surprise, surprise). You are right, we probably could make a couple of Won, hehe... Although, I don't know what that would be in dollars...

You know I know a guy, can't say who but he know where the 'kimchee facility' is. You do know that there is a Kimchi shortage in the old country... Perhaps we can make a few Won.... Sorry I could not help it. LOL

Just the latest in the the 'food truck craze'... Sounds interesting though! I'll have to check it out. Let me know if anyone has a sighting of this truck! It will be serving kimcheesteaks, as well as kimchee rice balls, kimchee ramen and kimchee fried rice. The kimchee is going to be 'extra aged' for eight months in a special climate-controlled 'kimchee facility' in Brooklyn. You can follow on Twitter if you want more info. <a href="http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/01/first_look_at_the_kimchi_taco.html?e=grubstreet--20110114" rel="nofollow">http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2011/01/first_look_at_the_kimchi_taco.html?e=grubstreet--20110114</a> ryan :) P.S. - I attached the menu below, if you want to take a look.

When we make ramen at my house we do this one version that is quick and delicious. We add kimchi, a handful of frozen mixed stirfry veggies and a big handful of shrimp that we keep in the freezer. Then top with some sliced scallion and or some bean sprouts. Sometimes I add an egg while it is cooking. I always top it with a bit of sesame oil. It makes for a very filling and delicious soup.

For regular ramen, I usually stick to just an egg. Sometimes I'll add tabasco to give it a kick. However, with Korean ramen, like Shin ramen, I put in oodles of stuff. Mostly green onion, kimchi, raw frozen seafood (they sell a mixed version usually intended for paella and such in most supermarkets), gochujang, spam, or a clam or two. Just a mix and match of those ingredients makes for some excellent ramen. A word of warning about ramen. It's extremely salty and has almost no nutritional value. If you still want to eat it, try adding vegetable matter to it such as carrot, onions, spinach, broccoli, etc... I'm on an extreme budget as well (got laid off last year and still haven't found employment), and I find that eating Korean is fairly inexpensive since rice makes up the bulk of the meal. Once you have your main seasonings, a soup, kimchi, and some side dishes are all I make on the weekends and just eat that with rice for the rest of the week. 'Course, I don't know how you'd feel about eating Korean everyday. I grew up on the stuff, but I know some of my non-Korean friends think I'm crazy for eating rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday.

i use samgyumpsal, pork belly slices, egg, green onion and kimchi in my ramen. =9 you can also use hot dogs and flat rice cakes, sliced up potatoes if you'd like also.

ooh, I love adding stuff to my ramen. I love putting in dumplings/mandoo/potstickers, eggs, tofu, kimchi, leftover beef/pork/chicken, any frozen shrimp I have on hand, romaine lettuce/cabbage (we use it a lot in our hotpot/shabu shabu/oden, put it in last so it still has crunch but it's sweet!), any oden stuff like fish cakes/shrimp balls etc. basically, anything in your fridge that can go in soup even frozen/fresh vegs like broccoli/squash... But if you really are on a budget and want to spruce it up: egg and green onions are the best. and if you have about 10 to spend, go to the store and buy a bag of shrimp, the cheapest you can find, even precooked is fine or if you like, canned tuna goes well with the spicy ramen flavors (that I have only heard b/c I can't stand the smell of it)and just add it in. wonderful how it changes it from boring noodles to a meal.

If you like spicy food try getting a case of Shin Ramyun, it's the best! I like to add in baby spinach leaves (or other greens I have around), cilantro, soybean sprouts, tofu, and/or green onion. I rarely add in meat, but I think spam would be good. Also any left over meat you may have in the fridge :)

i like to add mushrooms, broccoli and a little sesame oil. in a korean cooking show, i once saw someone add mint leaves and egg threads to spicy ramen. (youtube has good videos on how to make egg threads = simple really). oh you know what, a college friend of mine use to boil the noodles and vegetables, then drain the water and add the powdered soup base. so it'd be like oriental noodles. she made me try it and it was pretty good. never would have thought about it. she used the oriental flavored ramen and also added shredded chicken.

For Korean Ramen I like to add broccoli, tofu (fried or unfried), kimchi, scallions and a little sesame oil. That way it is healthier and like a whole meal.

Try adding a slice of American cheese for a creamy twist! this is very popular in Korea! I like to put frozen shrimp in mine in place of spam. Green onions, Kimchi, Rice cakes for rice cake soup, eggs, and white rice at the end when all you have left is the soup :)

Is this just regular Ramen, or Korean Ramyun? Ramyun, as the Korean call it, is usually spicy. But either way, you can throw in a egg and mix that around, throw in some spam (yes spam, cheap but decent meat), dduk (rice cake), green onions or hotdogs. The Ramyun I get in restaurants around Seoul, Korea just have dduk in it though and its good enough.
