Sour and fragrant Yunnan-style small pot rice noodles

Lately, I've been eating too much pasta and really wanted a change. Yunnan rice noodles are like Chongqing hotpot—the flavor is ingrained in the local culture. A trip to Yunnan is guaranteed to hook you; you'll crave it every day! To recreate that Yunnan taste, you need local ingredients like Zhang Yingchi sauce and pickled cabbage—these are the soul of the dish! The tangy pickled cabbage mixed with the sauce's aroma, combined with the meaty fragrance, is irresistible. Picking up a mouthful of rice noodles, each strand is coated in the thick sauce. Slurping them down, they're soft, chewy, and the sauce's salty, savory, sour, and spicy flavors explode on your tongue. The crisp pickled cabbage cuts through the richness of the minced meat, and then you bite into a poached egg soaked in broth. The layers of sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavors build up, warming you from your tongue to your stomach with every bite. Finally, I've satisfied my craving for Yunnan rice noodles!

Korean Kimchi

Enjoy the pleasures and benefits of eating Korean kimchi, especially homemade kimchi.

It boasts a rich and layered flavor: a harmonious blend of sour, spicy, and savory. The lactic acid produced during fermentation brings a refreshing tang, while the spiciness of the chili is not overpowering. Paired with garlic, ginger, apple, and pear, it's crisp, tender, and juicy. It can be served as a side dish to cut through richness or to add a touch of soul to rice, noodles, and other staple foods. Every bite is appetizing and satisfying. When chewing, you can feel the collision of the natural sweetness of the ingredients with the fermented flavor. It tastes even more refreshing when chilled, making it a delightful and comforting addition to everyday meals. It's versatile: it can be eaten raw as a side dish, stir-fried with pork belly, used in army stew, or added to kimchi soup. Heating it softens the sourness and enhances the aroma, making it a delightful addition to both casual meals and lavish banquets.
