Is kimchi sauce a healthy sauce to be used for food? I know salty veg or fish is bad but i dont know if kimchi is different but i recalls its healthy product in Korea.

Hi

Yes, there are perfectly ok and Kimchi is a healthy stuff. The ingredients used to make kimchi are vegetables (no preservatives at all) and fish sauce. The Veg*n version does not have fish sauce or garlic/shallot.

The salty veg and fish is different, the salt content is too high. Unless you make your own salted vegetables (vinegar & salt) which is very simple and the salt can be control. I make my own salted veg.

Cheers :)
