Mushroom found in jalapeno kimchi (5)
I believe the answer is:
enoki
'mushroom' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in jalapeno kimchi' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ENOKI' is hidden in the letters of 'jalapeno kimchi'.
'found' is the link.
(Other definitions for enoki that I've seen before include "Japanese food" , "Oriental mushroom; E ikon (anag.)" , "Fare from the Far East" , "Japanese mushroom type" .)
