What is Kimchi?
Kimchi is a mixture of fermented cabbage with garlic and onion, seasoned with ginger and other spices, with a spicy and salty flavor. Very typical in Korea, the recipe dates back to the 1st century BC, where the first written references appear to carry out the technique necessary to obtain this food.
It is such a typical food in Korea that it is expected on the table like a loaf of bread here in Spain. We can generally obtain it in supermarkets, although we can also prepare it ourselves at home, not very different from how they do it in Korea, where they even have specialized refrigerators to preserve and prepare this food.

STEP BY STEP
1. To start with this recipe, we pour the EVOO into the paella, level it and turn on the heat at medium power so that the oil heats up.
2. When the oil is very hot, add the pork ribs, add a pinch of salt and fry until they have a nice golden color. We remove towards the ends of the paella.
3. With our ribs prepared, we add a teaspoon of sweet paprika and, then, the tomato, which we will have previously grated. We fry everything until it turns a dark color.
4. Add the rice and mix well with the pork ribs. We fry everything together for a few minutes.
5. With everything prepared, it's time to pour in the very hot broth and kimchi. We will first add about 250 ml of kimchi (the broth and vegetables in this mixture) and then the liter of vegetable broth. In total they will add up to 1,250 l between the two of them, which is what we will need to make the rice. We raise the heat to high, spread the rice well over the surface of the paella and leave it like that for five minutes.
6. In the next 5 minutes we lower the heat to medium power. We taste the salt and adjust if we think it is necessary.
7. In the last seven minutes, we lower the heat to minimum.
8. Finally, we let it rest for ten minutes.
After letting the rice rest, we can finally taste our kimchi rice with pork ribs, time to test our palate with this fusion of Korean flavors, rice dishes!
