Instructions

- 2-3 minutes before the spaghetti is done, add the cashew cream sauce to the pan. Mix well. Stir occasionally to avoid burning. It should start thinking a little. Adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary.

Notes
- For kimchi cream sauce, use the “traditional” kind of kimchi that is made with napa cabbage.
- Every jar of kimchi has a different saltiness, spiciness, and sourness depending on the level of fermentation. Adjust the seasonings accordingly that works the best for your own favorite kimchi.
- This is a “thin” sauce version so it should be somewhat creamy but soupy compare to the “thick” version recipe.
