Kimchi Sesame Noodles is an easy recipe that requires minimal ingredients and is a great way to combine the health benefits of spicy kimchi.
We are living in the heat of summer, but wait a minute it is not even summer yet as that comes later this month. What I am trying to understand is why the weather is in the upper 90s in Florida already.
Now I have completely given up on trying to understand weather patterns. I just relax and go with the flow and try to plan my wardrobe accordingly. Right now that only means one thing…cool, light, comfortable clothing. That also means trying to spend the least amount of time in a hot kitchen as possible. Speaking of quick recipes.
You may remember a recipe that I shared with on how to make Easy Sesame Noodles and this only required about 15 minutes from start to finish and that recipe included ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Basically, if you can boil spaghetti noodles, then there was literally no way that you could mess that recipe up. Well fast forward to the current time and by that I mean tonight. I will show you how to spice that same recipe up a bit by adding some spicy kimchi.
If you have never had kimchi or could not get past the smell of it…it smells like some funky socks…sorry to be so graphic, but if you have had it then you already know this. But anyway kimchi is fermented cabbage and other veggies that are super beneficial by adding healthy bacteria to your gut. A natural probiotic with amazing immune boosting benefits. I like to add kimchi into something, and tossed in noodles is just that perfect something.

I’ve never tried it but I always hear amazing things about fermented foods. Des likes fermented foods and noodles!
Des will probably love this recipe minus the spicy ingredients and the use of mild kimchi instead.
I’ve never tried it, but I love miso and fermented pickles. One day I’ll get brave enough to try it 🙂
I really enjoy kimchi in something such as rice, pasta, and salads. It really adds to the flavor, but I don’t really eat it by itself.
