A staple of Korean cuisine, kimchi is made from fermented vegetables, most commonly napa cabbage and Korean radishes. The spicy and tangy flavor of kimchi makes it a versatile addition to many dishes, such as rice, noodles, and even sandwiches.^[1]

Quinoa (Ancient Andean Grain)

Quinoa, a pseudocereal native to the Andean region of South America, has become increasingly popular due to its numerous health benefits. This gluten-free grain is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa is also rich in fiber, magnesium, and iron. Its nutty taste and fluffy texture make it a delicious and nutritious alternative to rice or pasta.^[2]

Poke (Hawaiian Raw Fish Salad)

Poke, pronounced “poh-kay,” is a Hawaiian dish that features raw, marinated fish, typically tuna, served over rice or salad greens.
