Kimchi Salad Aka Quick Kimchi Recipes

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:

• Slice the cabbage into 2.5cm strips. Tip into a bowl, mix with 1 tbsp sea salt, then set aside for 1 hr. Meanwhile, make the kimchi paste by blending the garlic, ginger, fish sauce (if using), chilli sauce, sugar and rice vinegar together in a small bowl.
• Rinse the cabbage under cold running water, drain and dry thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl and toss through the paste, along with the radishes, carrot and spring onions. Serve straight away or pack into a large jar, seal and leave to ferment at room temperature overnight, then chill. Will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks - the flavour will improve the longer it's left.

Steps:

• Cut up vegetables, kimchi and tofu and set aside.
• Rinse meat, cut into thin strips 1-2" long.
• Marinate meat in rice wine with two pinches black pepper for 15 minutes (you can use your stew pot for this).
• Meanwhile, add vegetable oil to pan or wok and cook kimchi on medium-high until done (usually 5-7 minutes). Stir consistently. Kimchi will turn slightly translucent.
• In a separate bowl, combine soup base ingredients and mash together.
• Add vegetables, kimchi, soup base and water to the pot with the meat, leaving out the tofu. Use kimchi juice as part of the water if extracted.
• Bring to a boil; leave on a rolling boil until meat is cooked or about 5 minutes, being careful not to let water boil away.
• Taste soup for adjustments; add water as needed, or make extra soup base if needed.
• As soon as the meat is done, turn the heat down to low, add the tofu slices.
• Stir gently, serve with rice (your mouth will be hot -- I like to use rice that is room-temp!).

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:

• Rinse cabbages and cut crosswise into 2 inch lengths. Peel the daikon, cut lengthwise into quarters, then into pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
• Dissolve salt in water. Place cabbages and daikon in a large bowl and pour the salt water over them. Let sit at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Drain the vegetables, reserving water. Return the cabbage and daikon to the bowl and add green onions, garlic, ginger, and chili powder. Mix well.
• Pack the mixture into a 1 gallon glass jar. Slowly pour the reserved salty water over the vegetables to cover, leaving about 1 inch of space on top. Tightly close the jar.
• Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 days, depending on how pickled you like it. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

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:

• 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:

• Rinse the cabbages and cut them crosswise into about 2-inch lengths. Peel the daikon, cut lengthwise into quarters, then into pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
• Dissolve the salt in the water. Put the cabbage and daikon in a large bowl and pour the salt water over them. Let sit at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Drain the vegetables, reserving the water. Return the cabbage and daikon to the same bowl. Add the green onions, garlic, ginger, chile powder, and fish sauce and mix well. Pack the mixture into a 1-gallon glass jar. Slowly pour the reserved salty water over the vegetables to cover, leaving about 1 inch of space on top. Tightly close the jar.
• Let the jar sit in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 days, depending on the weather and how pickled you like your kimchi to taste. Refrigerate after opening. It will keep for a couple of weeks, after which you'll want to make fried rice, kimchi pancakes, or a hot pot with it.

Steps:

• Separate and wash the cabbage leaves.
• Sprinkle them with the 2 tbsp of salt.
• Place them in a non corrosive dish (Pyrex) and pour in the 4 cups cold water, cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge over night.
• The water should cover the leaves if not place a heavy object on them to keep them submerged.
• After sitting overnight pour off the water and rinse the leaves well, shake out excess moisture. ( I used my lettuce dryer to remove the extra moisture).
• Mix the garlic, ginger, green onion,chili flakes,sugar & 1 tbsp salt, stir together.
• Pour 11/2 cups of very hot water over the mixed seasoning.
• Place cabbage leaves in a large zip lock bag or in a bowl, pour in the seasoning, mix well so the seasoning is on every leaf.
• Place in the fridge for two days. Flip the bag every time you open the fridge door.
• To serve cut the leaves into 2" strips and serve as a side condiment.
• To store pack the cabbage into a jar and store in the fridge it will keep for several days to a week or more.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high (450° to 550°).
• Mix cabbage, 1/4 cup green onions, the vinegar, 1 teaspoons each garlic and ginger, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoons chili sauce in a large bowl. Set relish aside, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise with remaining 1 teaspoons chili sauce.
• Combine beef, soy sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup green onions, 1 tablespoons each garlic and ginger, and 1 teaspoons sesame oil. Shape into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inches thick. Don't over mix or the burgers will be tough.
• Oil cooking grate, using tongs and a wad of oiled paper towels. Grill burgers, covered, turning once, 7 to 8 minutes total for medium. In the final minutes, toast buns.
• Spread bun bottoms with chili mayonnaise. Set burgers on buns. With a slotted spoon, put some cabbage relish on each. Serve with remaining relish.
