Kimchi is a specialty item that will require a second stop—most likely at an Asian market, though some Harris Teeter or Kroger locations stock it in their international aisle, so call ahead to confirm. Tahini and sriracha are easier finds at the major chains, and canned chickpeas are universal. The 10-minute time is honest if you're starting with canned chickpeas and jarred kimchi, but budget extra minutes if you're draining and rinsing properly. This works as a make-ahead dip for entertaining or meal prep, though it's best served the same day or next day—the bright fermented flavor fades and the texture can separate by day two. Expect to pay $2 to $3 per serving once you factor in the kimchi search, making it a special-occasion appetizer rather than a weeknight staple.
