London Fermentary Kimchi

London Fermentary is founded by a dear old friend Elena. It was founded following an over-order of peppers at her fruit and vegetable shop. She didn't want them to go to waste, so fermented them into what came to be her first fermented sauce.  The fermentary has now grown considerably and makes some of the best ferments and water kefirs in the UK,.

I really love this Kimchi, it is balanced, spicey full of flavor, fish has been omitted to make it vegan and keep it mellow.

One of the best known ferments, this is spicy, rich and tart. It works really well with fatty proteins and cheeses and simple grains like white rice. Enjoy with avocado and feta on sourdough toast, topped with a fried egg. Or turn it into some kimchi pancakes with a soy and sesame dipping sauce. You can also blend it into a paste and use it as a condiment or make some kimchi salt by rubbing a teaspoon into a pack of good quality sea salt flakes, spreading them thin on a baking sheet and letting dry out in a warm, well ventilated room.
