And with that, we get right to our newest recipe. Living in NYC, we have the wonderful opportunity to experience new foods in the heart of a cultural melting pot. Kimchi tacos have become the hot new food truck item and we could not resist the urge to try our hands at it.
Kimchi is a delicious concoction of pickled cabbages in Asian spices. It is extremely hard to make and I don't have that kind of patience. And after our first go at it, Richard decided he preferred the mixture on rice and I preferred it on a tortilla. So try it however you like! :)
