This is my favorite kind of instant noodles.
I've been trying to eat more soup and kimchi since I've been sick.
I always seem to recover much faster from colds, sore throats, and the like if I eat kimchi when I feel the sickness coming on.
I always noticed that if I had a sore throat, the burn of the kimchi seemed to burn the soreness out of me. It may also help that cabbage is apparently a superfood. My coworker made a list of vitamins and then listed all the foods that offered them, and he said cabbage ended up on all but one.
This same coworker has another theory about kimchi's benefits to your health. He speculates that by eating acidic foods like fermented cabbage and other pickled side dishes, you're actually altering your body's pH level and creating an environment that's too destructive for viruses (etc.) to survive in. This, he thinks, would be in sharp contrast to many of the foods that are staples in a Western diet, such as milk and bread, which he says are bases.
I'm no scientist, so I won't even pretend to know if his view is accurate or not. But if he's right, would that partially explain why citris fruits (or highly acidic fruits) seem to be so beneficial for your health?
Anyway. The only kind of kimchi that I really like is cucumber kimchi, but I have to say that even basic kimchi's quickly growing on me.
