Kimcheesalad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cabbage, garlic and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring once or twice, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, oil, ginger, salt, sugar and crushed red pepper in a large bowl.
• Add the cabbage, scallions and carrot to the bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate for about 25 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine cabbage and rock salt together in a bowl. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring often. Rinse lightly and drain.
• Mix cabbage, carrot, vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, cayenne pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place cabbage and green onions in a large bowl. In a blender, combine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and sugar, blending until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and gently toss. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days before serving to let the cabbage wilt and the flavors meld.

Steps:

• Place cabbage and radish in a large colander. Sprinkle liberally with salt and mix to combine. Set aside for 1 hour. Add additional salt, mix, and set aside 1 hour more. Rinse cabbage and let drain.
• Meanwhile, combine garlic, onion, ginger, and rice vinegar in a blender. Add water and blend aromatic mixture on high power.
• Transfer drained cabbage to a large bowl and add aromatic mixture. Add persimmon, cucumber, green onions, and red pepper flakes and mix well.
• Transfer kimchi to airtight containers and refrigerate for 3 days.

Steps:

• Chop cabbage coarsely and place in a large dish.
• Sprinkle cabbage with salt; let stand 3-4 hours.
• Squeeze cabbage dry with hands and place in another bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients except sesame oil, and mix well.
• Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.
• Sprinkle with a few drops of sesame oil on each serving, if desired.

Steps:

• Place a colander in a medium bowl and drain the kimchi. Coarsely chop the kimchi; you should have about 2 cups.
• To the medium bowl with the kimchi juice, add the rice wine vinegar and sesame oil; stir to combine. Stir in the tuna and celery, breaking up the tuna into large chunks.
• Add the chopped kimchi and ginger, and stir to combine. Because each batch of kimchi tastes different, it's important to taste and adjust seasonings. If it needs more tang, add more rice wine vinegar. If it's too intense, add more oil or even mayonnaise. If you want it spicier, add red-pepper flakes, gochugaru or sambal.
• Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. The salad keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Cut the Spam into small cubes. Chop the kimchi.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kimchi and sauté until reddish-brown in color and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
• Push the kimchi to the edges of the pan and add the Spam. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until starting to crisp, then add the sweet corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until warmed through. Add the sesame oil, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute longer, until the flavors have melded. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Place a tortilla in a clean medium skillet. Sprinkle ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over half of the tortilla. Add half of the kimchi and Spam mixture, top with another ¼ cup mozzarella, and fold the tortilla over. Turn the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Fry the quesadilla on each side for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
