* Kimchi is a collective name for fermented vegetables (usually cabbage). In Korea it is even the national dish, it is on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. It is fermented, just like sauerkraut. This means that yeasts, fungi and bacteria are used.
It is quite spicy and contains a lot of garlic. No fish sauce is used, so it is completely vegetable. Kimchi is available in cans or jars at the supermarket or store.
