- Jars of kimchee can be found in most grocery stores where they are sometimes located in the produce section. They can also be found in any Asian markets.
- If you are unfamiliar with the pungent flavor of kimchee, feel free to adjust the proportions in the slaw and the vinaigrette.
- Salt has not been added to the vinaigrette as the kimchee juice is salty. Some commercial jars of kimchee are saltier than others. Taste the vinaigrette and add salt if needed.
