  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.

  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

  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…

  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…

  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.

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

  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…
