Volcano Kimchi

Aruna was born in South Korea, and grew up in a buddhist monastery where every meal included home-grown and locally-harvested vegetables, served in vibrant and nutritious ways. Some of her earliest memories are of sneaking away to steal bites of kimchi from the assortment of crock pots that lined the temple walls. Aruna came to San Francisco in 2001, and while San Francisco is now home, the memory of those flavors is as fresh today as it was then. This is the guiding inspiration she uses in preparing each batch of Volcano Kimchi.
