Kimchi is a method of preserving vegetables through fermentation. Here, we make a seasoning paste to ferment with cabbage, but this flavourful paste can be mixed and fermented with so many different kinds of vegetables: cucumber, radish, cauliflower, asparagus, etc.
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Execution Time: 15 minutes
For the cabbage kimchi:
250g wombok (Chinese cabbage), rinsed and sliced into 4x4cm squares
10 garlic chives, sliced into 3cm batons
1 tsp salt
For the cucumber kimchi:
200g Lebanese cucumber, seeded, cut into 4cm batons
10 garlic chives, sliced into 3cm batons
½ tsp salt I
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar
For the seasoning paste:
40g carrot, grated
⅓ (100g) nashi (Korean pear), grated
¼ (45g) white onion, grated
1 tsp fish sauce
4 cloves garlic (15g), minced finely
4x4x4cm (10g) ginger, minced finely
4 tbsp kochukaru
1 tbsp saeu-jeot (salted baby prawns, optional)
2 tbsp leftover cooked rice blended with 1 tbsp water
L 2 tsp old kimchi (from a previous batch as a starter)
For the seasoning paste: combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Add in 2 tbsp of old kimchi as a starter. I
For the cabbage kimchi: Salt the cabbage and mix well.
Mix the cabbage periodically over the course of an hour or two, until the cabbage is wilted and it begins to exude a little water.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a bowl, then incorporate half of the seasoning paste in with the cabbage.
Press the kimchi into a vessel, until the surface is flat, and rest it at room temperature for 6-7 days, occasionally pushing down the kimchi to keep the surface flat and to reduce the amount of air pockets in the kimchi.
After 2-3 days, you should begin to see a few air bubbles forming inside of the kimchi, this is a sign that the fermentation is going well.
Allow to ferment further in the fridge for an additional 6-7 days.
Taste the kimchi everyday until it reaches your desired level of sourness.
Ferment in the fridge for up to a month, the cabbage will become more sour and soft over time.
For the cucumber kimchi: Add the salt, sugar and cucumber to a mixing bowl and mix well to combine. Mix the cucumber periodically over the course of an hour or two, until it softens a little. Mix half of the chilli paste with the cucumbers. The mixture can last up to 5 days, or until the cucumbers lose their crunch.
These bouncy and spicy rice cakes have a deep umami flavour and a complex and rich flavour.
Preparation Time: 15
Active time: 15
Serves: 2
250g Korean rice cakes
400ml mushroom kombu stock
70g thinly sliced pork belly
1 sheet (60g) flat fish cakes

1 tbsp gochujang
1 tbsp kochukaru

KFC- Korean fried chicken makes for a delicious, casual snack. It is the synthesis of two great culinary traditions. Black soldiers brought Southern fried chicken recipes with them, and taught them to Korean chefs during the Korean War. The Koreans added sesame seeds, a sauce made from gochujang and voila, a culinary masterpiece was born. This recipe fries the chicken twice to give it an ultra crispy texture.
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Execution Time: 20 minutes
250g chicken thigh, cut into 3x3cm cubes
3 tbsp korean fried chicken flour mix
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
For the dry dredge:
4 tbsp korean flour mixture
To serve:
50ml chicken gochujang
1 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1 spring onion, minced
100g steamed Korean rice (optional)
50g kimchi
Cucumber kimchi
150g daikon radish, peeled and cut into squares
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp sugar
For the chicken-mu: Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly to combine. Allow the vegetables to marinate in the pickling liquid for at least an hour.
Mix the garlic, sake, soy sauce, beaten egg and ginger with the chicken and allow to marinate for an hour or overnight.
Heat a pot of oil until it reaches 150C.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the plain flour, salt, garlic powder, kochukaru, curry powder, baking powder and the potato starch.
Add the chicken and toss until they are evenly coated.
Place the chicken in the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the starch begins to set and it looks a very light golden brown.
Remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. Increase the oil temperature to 175C and add the chicken. Fry until they’re a rich golden brown, for about 1-2 minutes. Drain directly onto a paper towel and season with a pinch of salt.
Serve half of the chicken with a lemon wedge, and a little bit of kewpie mayonnaise on the side.
For the other half of the chicken:
Add 2 tbsp of cho-gochujang to a mixing bowl and toss with the chicken until evenly coated.
Garnish with the sesame seeds and sliced spring onions. Serve with lettuces.
To eat, grab a lettuce leaf. Place a little bit of rice, kimchi, cucumber kimchi, mayo, rice and the fried chicken inside.
