Living in the Philippines, it was very inefficient and uncomfortable to make korean food because of the cultural differences. In a Korean household, there would be a fridge with a lot of storage space as well as a separate kimchi fridge for your kimchi. The food culture in korea also requires a lot of varieties of ingredients that come in big packages which is left to waste if you don’t make korean food on a regular basis.
On the other hand, sauces like Sriracha and tabasco was very convenient to use which could also be used in variety of dishes like a sandwich or a pizza. This made me wonder, “Why doesn’t Korea have a sauce like this?”
10 years of working in the korean food industry in the Philippines, I saw Korean food being accepted world wide which made me really happy. However, the world’s focus was limited to the “AUTHENTIC WAY”. In order to create a convenient and a newer perspective of Korean food, I created Kimchi Seasoning to be used in everyday meals just like how Sriracha and Tabasco is used.
