One of the many reasons you'll be grateful to have a jar of kimchi in your fridge at all times: this throw-together no-cook toast.  Mix spicy kimchi with smooth cream cheese, top it with scallions and cilantro (or chives and basil make a nice swap), and slather it on some hearty toast. It's a low-lift breakfast, lunch, or snack that's ideal for even the laziest of days.
