Kimchi is the staple food in Korean food culture. Although South Korea is small geographically, its list of different type of Kimchi is enormous; each region and every family in South Korea have a unique Kimchi recipe. As a result, a single word “Kimchi” have a limitless variety of the ingredients, the style, and the taste. Bibille offers a type of authentic Kimchi that is truly home-style without altered recipe for the restaurant.
Bibille offers Kimchi that is Chef Joanne Moon’s own unique recipe that she has perfected over the past 30 years of experiments using a plethora of unorthodox ingredients. Chef Moon personally chooses all the necessary ingredients from the fresh young Napa cabbage to the specific type of sea salt from South Korea. Her recipe requires absolute preciseness of the amount of the seasoning ingredients, the timing, and the temperature as they play a substantial role in the final fermentation process. Chef Moon serves fermented Kimchi at Bibille even though her Kimchi can be consumed with or without fermentation.
-Kimchi is widely known all over the world as an iconic Korean side dish. As more consumed around the world, the more research has been performed on the health benefits of Kimchi. The studies have proven that there are a handful of scientific health benefits of consuming Kimchi. Some of the most notable benefits are:
