1. Place kimchi and cilantro in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped.  Add cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, vinegar, miso and a few pinches of salt, then process until mostly smooth.  Season to taste with additional salt and vinegar. If you’ve got the time, let the dip sit in the fridge for 1 hour before serving.
