1. Recipe - or it didn't happen!

Do you make your own kimchi or purchase it?

3. this is right up my alley

A 16 oz jar of kimchi here is 9 bucks, though, and then adding the pork and the tofu and I'd be easily up to around $16 for the protein alone.

I'm learning how to make my own kimchi because I'm such a fan of it, so maybe I'll use my first batch in this.

Thanks for sharing, moonshine!

4. Sounds spicy and satisfying.

I’ve had a powerful craving for hot & sour soup and spring rolls, but haven’t found what I’m looking for around here. I’m going to check your recipe site to see if they have a recipe I can start with.

6. Thank you. I saw it and saved it.

When I was in college, I spent my first summer as a server at Lums World Famous Hot Dogs (steamed in beer) restaurant in NC. Back then I could carry 5 mugs of beer in one hand and the tips were good.

But the best part of the job was a fellow server who made spring rolls and hot & sour soup at her place after work. She made it look easy, and was patient with my efforts to help. Those were the best spring rolls and the best hot & sour soup I have ever eaten. That was quite a summer, 50+ years ago. What interesting memories this is stirring up!
