Noodle MegaBowl: Just Add Kimchi

Korean Noodle Bowl w/ Kimchi

 Do your body a favor and add some Kimchi to your next noodle bowl for a plethora of good bacteria for your gastrointestinal flora and an elevated dish in just a few forkfuls.  Kimchi is a Korean staple and condiment made with fermented cabbage, lots of garlic, Korean radish, carrot, Red Pepper Powder, bonito and other flavor builders, that pair perfectly with any dish you can think of! Being a given in Korean cuisine, there are quite literally thousands of versions, varying from family to family.  
I am currently buying my Kimchi, but making some from scratch is high on my agenda, likely with a Southern American twist, what I am not sure yet, but subtle enough not to disrupt or disrespect the integrity of the dish.  It's actually quite perfect and can turn a basic meal into a well balanced one. Full of fresh tasting flavors and crunch, the cool bites of pungent cabbage alongside your veg, starches and proteins, is a match made in heaven. 
 My daughter Bronwyn and I are big fans, my oldest daughter Genesis, can't get past its aroma, which is admittedly not something you will soon forget, but the taste is BONKERSMACK! 
 Today's feature is brought to you by a Korean brand of Ramen called Bibim Men, spicy, and a modest half teaspoon of some Red Pepper Powder.
