Creamy kimchi dip is a classic Hawaiian party dip and I’m not going to lie it’s absolutely delicious.

Living in Hawaii gives you access to all kinds of local dishes that you might not necessarily find in any restaurant in Hawaii or on the mainland for that matter.

Kimchee dip, as it’s spelled in Hawaii, is a local-style potluck recipe made with a creamy blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and kimchee. It’s served with chips, commonly Fritos or won ton crisps. However, you can serve this flavorful dip with cut-up veggies as well.

What goes into Kimchi Dip

There are only a few ingredients need to make this recipe.

• Kimchi. You can use any kind of kimchi that you like. Just keep in mind that some kimchis have more juice than others. You might want to strain your kimchi if you’re worried about the dip being too watery. You can always add back in extra juice if needed.
• Sour cream + cream cheese. I always use full-fat sour cream and cream cheese. If you want to lighten this dip up you can use the low-fat varieties.
• Sriracha. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your taste. Depending on how spicy your kimchi is you might have to use more or less sriracha in this recipe.
• Sesame oil. I like the addition of sesame in this recipe. You can add a little extra sesame oil if you like it.
• Green onions. Chopped green onions are the perfect garnish on this dip.

How to make Kimchi Dip

This spicy dip is easy to make. Simply add all of the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor and blend until it is smooth and creamy.

How to store kimchi dip

Store Kimchi dip in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to a week.

What To Serve With Kimchee Dip

Kimchi dip is usually served with chips, sliced veggies, or even Italian Grissini. I love eating this dip with sliced cucumbers. This dip is surprisingly low carb so serving it with sliced veggies makes for a great low-carb snack or party dip.

You can also serve this as a kimchi spread with burgers.
