why did i want to create this recipe?
I actually wanted to create this recipe for a particular seasoning that I am really loving right now. It’s called the Kimchi Seasoning by a brand called Seoul Sister’s Kimchi. It’s is very versatile and really tasty!! This is not a paid partnership post, but I personally really like this seasoning and wanted to incorporate it into my recipe.
Tidbits about the brand: Kudos to the An sisters who founded @seoulsisterskimchi and their passion to spread healthy Korean food to the world. They believe in delivering safe, high quality product, which was even awarded the Innovation Food Award from SIAL 2019 India. Their seasoning is a blend of all natural kimchi seasoning mix, rich in Probiotics, Gluten-free, and NON-GMO, and 100% VEGAN!! One bottle is filled with 18 BILLION live lactobacillus from kimchi!! A Win win!! If you want to try this delicious seasoning, it is available on AmazonPrime.
This is a really tasty recipe that’s great for any occasion! Seriously, it tastes like restaurant quality right here!! The crunchy tots, with savory bulgogi, to ooey gooey cheese! Then you get the refreshing flavors from the raw onion, scallion and cilantro! And the spicy kimchi sauce just brings everything together for that lip smacking good flavor!! For non-spicy eaters, you can omit the onion and kimchi sauce. Try it for yourself today and tag me on my Instagram page if you do.(@seasonedbyjin) Would love to see your creation!!
