Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made from fermented Chinese cabbage with spices. It's easy to make at home by mixing the cabbage with spices and a spicy Asian sauce called Sriracha, then letting it ferment at room temperature for a few days. Once the fermented cabbage has reached your desired flavor, refrigerate it. Kimchi can be served as a vegetable side dish with other dishes. It's delicious, healthy, and a great hangover cure.
