Kimchi Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• For frying: Heat oil in stove-top frying pot or Dutch oven to 350 degrees F or heat over medium to medium-high heat on large burner. Place a rack-lined baking sheet with paper towels or parchment under rack next to oil.
• For the slaw: In a mixing bowl, whisk up mayo or aquafaba "mayo," gochujang, light brown sugar or honey. Then grate in ginger and garlic and whisk that in with the sesame oil. Chop whites and greens of a couple of scallions, shred or chop up the savoy cabbage and add the kimchi. Then toss to coat the slaw in dressing.
• For the sauce: Place all ingredients in large skillet over medium heat, whisk to combine and reduce 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat.
• For the chicken: Cut up chicken into 3 pieces per thigh, halve the tenders or quarter the breasts and season meat with salt and pepper.
• Pour vodka into a large bowl and whisk in cornstarch, flour and baking powder. Coat chicken in batter and fry half a batch at a time to deep golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack to drain.
• Toss chicken with sauce and top with scallions and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• For the kimchi slaw: Combine the Napa cabbage, kimchi, cilantro, sesame seeds, mint, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• For the orange-glazed short ribs: Lay the short ribs out on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with the cumin, five spice, salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Combine the orange juice, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup of glaze, about 30 minutes. Stir in the honey, strain into a bowl and let cool slightly. Discard the ginger and garlic.
• Heat a nonstick pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites set and the yolks are slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Flip the eggs over and continue to cook for about 40 seconds longer. Transfer to a warm plate and reserve. Trim if desired.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Lay the ribs on the grill pan and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, brushing with the orange glaze several times. Trim the bones and set aside.
• For the kochujang glaze: Whisk together the kochujang, honey and vinegar. Set aside.
• To serve: Put 2 ribs in the center of each lettuce wrap, top with some kimchi slaw and an egg and drizzle with the kochujang glaze. Garnish with more toasted sesame seeds, chopped mint and cilantro, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour and chile. Whisk in soda water until a pancake batter consistency is achieved. Completely coat the crab in the batter. Lightly drop in 350 degree F oil and fry for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and drain on paper towels.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, heat the vinegar, chile, salt and sugar until just boiling. Add the cabbage, carrots and garlic and simmer for only 3 minutes. Pull off the stove and let cool. Transfer to a glass container with an air tight lid. Store in refrigerator overnight. Will keep for 3 to 4 weeks as long as you do not introduce bacteria to it, ie. your finger.
• Plating: Place a small mound of slaw on the bottom piece of bread. Top with 1 crab and top with a little more slaw. Cover with top piece of bread and slice in half.

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.
