Happy New Year, everyone!

I usually refer to my business as “I” rather than “we,” because it truly is just me—wearing many hats. From making kimchi, developing new products, managing social media, answering emails, and doing sales… it’s all me behind the scenes.
2025 has been an amazing year for Kimchi Beyond Compare, and it’s all because of the incredible businesses I’ve worked with, new customers, loyal returning customers, and the wonderful communities that have supported me along the way.
Here’s a short recap of Kimchi Beyond Compare in 2025: setting up booths over and over again (with those giant, heavy coolers 😅), breaking everything down, making batch after batch of fermented kimchi, and jarring all day long.
And guess what—I will(perhaps we this year?) do it all again in 2026! I can’t wait to see what the new year brings. Thank you for being part of this journey 💛

Love you guys all❤️

This idea has been on my mind for a while — and it’s finally coming together! ✨
Every time I ferment kimchi, I end up with a little extra brine. My family and I have been quietly enjoying it for years — using it to cook proteins, make sauces like kimchi mayo, or add that signature tang to all kinds of dishes.

Now, I’ve finally bottled it up so I can share it with everyone!
Introducing Kimchi Essence — a bold, tangy way to bring real kimchi flavor into your everyday cooking.

How to Use Kimchi Essence:
🔥 Add bold, tangy flavor to food and drinks!
• Use as a spicy hot sauce or finishing drizzle.
• Use as ingredient for salsa and guacamole.
• Pair with oyster as mignonette sauce.
• Mix into mayo for creamy kimchi mayo.
• Brine or marinate proteins and veggies.
• Splash into cocktails or mocktails for a savory kick.
• Boost soups, stews, and broths with umami depth.
• Whisk into dressings or drizzle over rice and noodles.
• Add to a Bloody Mary or use for quick-pickling veggies.

Shake well & enjoy the kick of real kimchi flavor! 🌶️
I’ll be bringing a small batch to the — and yes, you can take some home! 😊

🍎 Meet Margie from — just a town over from where I live! As many of you know, I only use natural fruit sugars like apples (never refined sugar!) to ferment my kimchi. And this lovely local orchard is where I get those apples during season! 🙌
I love supporting Hansel's Orchard not only because of their delicious fruit, but also because they let me collect upcycled apples — the perfectly good ones that fall during U-PICK season and would otherwise go to waste.
Today, my kids and I visited Margie to pick apples straight from the trees and the ground. ✨ She shared the most heartwarming stories — some of the trees were planted as far back as the 1930s! Can you believe that? Nearly a century of care and dedication goes into every harvest.
Her family’s love and hard work shows in every apple. 🍏🍎 If you're near North Yarmouth, stop by Hansel’s Orchard and grab some fresh apples — and when you pick your own, please be gentle with the trees. A little care helps prevent extra apples from falling and going to waste. Let’s respect the trees, the land, and the generations of effort that go into growing each one. 💚

And some few shots of us. My son picking through some apples from the ground and me getting climbed on my kids all through picking as I was perfect height to climb on. 😆
