EPTPreviously, I felt like eating ramen and everyone recommended to get "Shin Ramen" because it was the best. I ended up buying shin ramen, and indeed it was the best. What kind of kimchi is generally acknowledge to be the "best" kimchi?

![[image loading]](http://www.seriouseats.com/images/20110304-kimchi-taste-test-tobagi.jpg) Tobagi, best brand, nationally available. I would get beef cooked in some form, if not BBQ. Kimchi and rice alone is good but can be improved upon. If you just have the rice the kimchi will overpower it, but beef is good to balance the flavor. | ||

No joke! To the shin ramen: Don't forget to crack an egg and add it to the ramen at the end, not too early, but also not to late, so that it doesn't stay glibberish. It will completely change the taste of the ramen (to the better). And if you like to, add some Emmentaler cheese (but not other cheese, only Emmentaler or something similar, else you will ruin it). | ||

I open to everything get something else to go with it its just that just kimchi and rice is like the equivalence of bread and water; its just plain ahaha. idk if youre vegetarian or not but my suggestion is bulgogi, korean ribs or anything that's meat :D EDIT: ask the clerk or whatever for suggestions? because you cant get everything people are gonna suggest here at the store there. | ||

Ask for 1/2kg of Samgyupsal, or a pound I guess in American terms. Should be pretty cheap, like less than $10. Go home, cook it and eat all of it together. dont forget lettuce(or cabbage or whatever) and go chu jang i think its called chili paste or sauce in english? oh and cook sliced onions with it its pretty good together :3 | ||

If you're adventurous enough to eat kimchi anyways, try it with spaghetti. I think kimchi might just go well with italian in general. I recall lasagna + kimchi being pretty decent as well. | ||

For good things to eat Kimchi with, you should try a korean dish- kimchi fried rice. I'm sure you could google it.  | ||

They are cubes of radish which are awesome with rice, rice and soup, curry rice. *salivating* i tend to disagree. i prefer the cabbage ones > kak-du-gi anyday Also, it is true. it goes great with things like Ramen, Curry, and Jajangmyun | ||
