Thanks for the info. I always love learning about food.P
Ah, I can help you there.
To begin with, kimchi is salted and fermented vegetables of a number of varieties, not just cabbage though that's the most common. Different types of cabbage kimchi (napa, bomdong, green, etc.) absolutely, but lots of other vegetables are used, and these can be just about any type of vegetable you can imagine, but a lot of those you'd find in East Asia: eggplant, mustard green, onion, scallion, soybean sprouts, shredded carrot, ginger, horseradish, etc. etc., and my personal favorite, cucumber. The list goes on. And then you have the seasonings, which also vary. Besides the brine, salted seafood like salted shrimp or anchovy, salt, sugar, fish sauce, garlic and minced ginger, and of course, red chili peppers often get used.
So, typically the taste is pickled, fairly pungent or very pungent depending on how long it's pickled, spicy and a bit savory, but again the overall taste and especially the texture will depend on the vegetables and seasonings used. If you go to a Korean restaraunt and ask for kimchi don't be surprised if they ask if you want a particular type and point to a dozen or so variations!
One thing that kimchi really goes well in...is soup. No seriously, cook some kimchi in a pot along with a bit of meat broth, noodles, tofu, and meat dumplings, and you've got a full meal. And FYI, I've been eating tofu LONG before millenials and soyboys thought it was "hip" and "trendy".
One other thing...you may want to be careful in polite company after eating a bunch of kimchi, as it can make you a bit gassy.
I heard about that place from my Taxi driver when I was in Anchorage; salmon on pizza with a dill sauce sounds pretty bomb.
What part of town is it in; I had a hard time finding it on a map.

Nope, uncle and grandfather live in Anchorage and I was up visiting them.It's downtown, toward the bay from the mall and the museum and right on the westbound side of the couplet that serves as the main drag, 5th Ave. Were you there for something at JBER?
The souls of revisionists.

Half pork and half shrimp for the meat. All have vermicelli noodle, cilantro, lettuce, pickled carrot and onion, celery, wrapped in rice paper. Sashimi was bonito which is the best. dipping sauce was thai peanut, hot chili sauce and sweet chili sauce. Miss Japan though. You could get double the bonito for the same cost.Engaging in sharing the means of production by paying an equivalent labor to monetary ratio before establishing a society without capital.
As an aside they look pretty good, whats in them?
