Kimchi Soup with Vegetable Wontons.

The past 3 mornings here in the Adelaide Hills have been chilly. Car windscreens and hoses have been frozen solid and it seems like the perfect time to make some warming Kimchi Soup.

In Korean cuisine, kimchi is not only a condiment or pickle; it is also used as an ingredient in many cooked dishes. Kimchi soup, called Jjigae, is a satisfying example. The fermented kimchi  quickly provide deep flavour to the broth, so it makes for a quick and easy winter meal. Aged kimchi, which is more intensely sour, is the preferred type to use. The soup is smooth with a hot and sour kick.

This recipe is the one I demonstrated at the Adelaide Hills Farmers Market on Saturday 30th of June 2018.
I hope you all take the time to make this and enjoy at home.
Belinda.
