Look for recipes for pa jeon. It’s a Korean savory pancake. My former sister-in-law is Korean and she would make these with either scallions or Kim chee. You actually make a big pancake and cut it up and dip it in soy sauce.
It’s also good in ramen.
I can’t find the recipe I use for pa jeon. It’s a simple one though, like equal parts flour and cold water, an egg and soy sauce to make a thin pancake batter. I found one recipe where they used a rolled out dough, that is not the right one.
I’m not a real fan of spicy food in general, but kimchi jiggae hits all kinds of right notes during the winter time.
For the OP, I’d also suggest a non-traditional alternative: kimchi tacos.
Kimchi jjigae is probably my very favorite meal (along with some laver seaweed–gotta have that). It really should be made with properly ripened kimchi, though, not new kimchi. (I have a bottle in my fridge that I’ve been trying to age… it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ll have to try it out of the fridge.)
There’s a burger joint a block from me that puts it on their burgers. They also make a cheese fries concoction with kimchi and bacon on it.
Add to Bibimbap. Ambrosia in a bowl!
Also fantastic with shredded pork tacos if you want to go all fusion-y.
Costco had kimchi in the cooler with hummus, cole slaw etc. last time I was there.
I had it in my hand, but never put it in the cart.
I tihnk I’ll follow throught next time.
Kimchi Fried Rice is the easiest and tastiest way to go.
We do something very similar to Mother-In-Law’s Seasoned Spinach (Shigumchi namul) - kimchi MOM ™
