What makes a place your home? For many immigrants, it’s the comfort of food but it’s not always easy to buy kimchi, curry, or that special brand of fermented soybean paste.

Fortunately, it’s getting easier to find these food staples, though it’s not like a Chinese restaurant in every town or city.
