One year when I lived in Brooklyn, a fuzzy perilla plant took over the shared courtyard of my building, so my husband washed and dried a lot of leaves and made a puree with a mini food processor. Stacked the sauce. It was so simple and so good that I made more every few weeks until the plants died.
Kimchi has different types and styles of the universe, and you can make countless meals by making your own favorite vegetables such as radish, cabbage, cucumber, mustard greens, and green onion. If you don’t have a habit, it’s a good idea to start with Eric Kim’s Tonbechu Kimchi.
The recipe is mainly sweet and crispy Chinese cabbage. A quarter, salted, drained, stuffed in a bright Gochugal stained sauce made from apples, onions, ginger and garlic and fermented for several weeks (up to 6 months). Making this vegetarian kimchi is easy. Replace the fish sauce with another salty, rich ingredient such as vegan fish sauce, soy sauce, miso, or a mixture of all three.
The juice itself, which is a mixture of the sweet liquid from the cabbage and the spicy and garlic kimchi sauce, is very delicious. Don’t waste it! In this kimchi and potato hash, it is important not to drain the kimchi before adding it to the pan, as the liquid will help season and cook the potatoes. And in this porridge recipe, the kimchi juice splash acts like a seasoned salt sprinkle.
Kimchi is on its own timeline. And, as Eric suggests in his recipe, if you taste it every few days, you’ll really be in tune with that progression. For a few weeks, it may seem like you’re speeding up, slowing down, or changing your kimchi’s personality (yes!). Like a fruit, it is ripe, beautiful, inevitable, and rushing towards a profound acidity.
It’s been about half a year now, and although it may seem too far away, there is still something in kimchi. Just like baking overripe strawberries into crumbles, you can turn super-sour kimchi into a stew, like this vegetarian version of sundubu.
Please tell me what happens when you make or tinker with plates. I would like to consider the salad component with shallot and capers soaked in vinegar to be completely flexible. One day you can use chicory and roasted mushrooms instead of potatoes, and another day you can slice and snap radishes. Pea, salad leaves, roasted baby artichokes, or a bunch of torn herbs.
