The National Staple dish of Korea

This unsuspecting looking bowl of red and white food stuff is Kim chi, the national dish of Korea. It isn't a meal in itself but a side dish that is eaten with the other national staple, white rice. The main ingredient to make up the dish is
Chinese cabbage. Other ingredients include Chilli flakes, garlic, ginger, salt and other finely chopped vegetables. This is all conbined and fermented to make a very distinctive dish that is served with every Korean dish.
