Spicy Kimchi Salad (vegan)

I made this asian salad for side dish yesterday!  1 serving is about 150 calories.  You can use any kind of kimchi but Dave thinks Sunja's medium spicy kimchi is the best.  I like putting some shrimp when I saute kimchi but I just made it as a vegan dish this time.

1/2 tbsp            soy sauce
1/2 tbsp            liquid aminos

1/2 cup             kimchi
8                      shrimp (optional)
1/2                   medium avocado
a handful            arugula
a handful            baby spinach
a few dashes       rice vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
