I’m not a chef. I just love finding out what tastes good together, and this is one of those pairings.
The two foods
Chapagetti
Chapagetti is a popular Korean instant noodle with a rich, savory black bean sauce.
Green Onion Kimchi
Pa-kimchi is kimchi made with Korean green onions: pungent, tangy and crunchy, with a spicy edge.
Flavor & texture
- FlavorChapagetti: Savory, deep, slightly sweet. Green Onion Kimchi: Tangy, sharp, spicy.
- TextureChewy, glossy noodles, with crisp, fibrous green onion.
Why it works
Rich noodles love something sharp. The acidity and bite of the kimchi cut through the heavy sauce, so every forkful tastes fresh instead of flat.
How to enjoy it
- Cook the noodles and toss them in the sauce.
- Pick up a few noodles with a piece of green onion kimchi.
- Eat them together in one bite, and add more kimchi as you go.
