This is a quick, easy, delicious and nutritious dish!
Tony literally just said "this is restaurant quality" and he LIVED in South Korea for a year! (he also just worked a 9 hour carpentry day and is likely starving, but still).
It's naturally gluten free and vegetarian, you can keep it vegan, or add an egg if you choose. The kimchi adds healthy bacteria to your gut flora, the cabbage is good for your liver, and the veggies + whole grains are generally full of antioxidants, fiber, and goodness. This whole recipe was inspired by this AMAZING kimchi I found right here at Sobeys!:
