1. Traditional Napa Cabbage Kimchi
This classic recipe includes napa cabbage, ginger and garlic.
2. Sparkling White Kimchi

Traditional kimchi usually involves days of fermenting, but these cucumbers are marinated for just a couple of hours so they’re still crisp.
5. Spicy Cabbage, Carrot and Daikon Kimchi
Add this kimchi to stir-fries, top burgers with it or just eat it straight from the jar.
6. Fresh Cabbage Kimchi
Garlicky, spicy and delicious, this quick kimchi combines crunchy bok choy and tender Napa cabbage for an interesting mix of textures.
