Master the basics of this versatile and flavorful ingredient with us by starting from the very beginning: the kimchi itself. Our recipe uses AJI-NO-MOTO® to enhance the umami flavors in kimchi. Firstly, AJI-NO-MOTO® enhances salt’s flavor-perceiving ability, allowing you to use less salt while still achieving the perfect savoriness. It can also help to round out kimchi’s sharp and fermented taste to make it more harmonious and balanced. With this in mind, you can make Kimchi that is good for an appetizer or side dish to offer your customers in the house, as it encourages an appetite before a full meal.
