Kkaennip Kimchi

One of my best friends calls these little rice stealers. These are so easy to whip up and eat with a bowl of fresh steam rice. If you're feeling extra fancy serve with a side of tuna pack in oil or scrambled eggs. I make a few batches of these when I know I'm going to have a hectic week and know I'll need ready made meals when I get home. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
