Here’s another great way to enjoy kimchi. Avocados and kimchi play VERY well together. The unctuous, creaminess of the avocado are a perfect counterpoint to the spiciness of kimchi. So naturally guacamole, or should we say, gua-KIM-ole, is a great combination!
UPDATE: Once mixed together, this combination does NOT keep very well. You should eat whatever you make within one or two days.
