🌶Banchan- Assorted Pickles and Kimchis
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: 4
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Execution Time: 15 minutes
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 tsp old kimchi (from a previous batch as a starter)
200g Lebanese cucumber, seeded, cut into 4cm batons
10 garlic chives, sliced into 3cm batons
80g kimchi paste
½ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar
250g English spinach, washed
1 spring onion (10g), minced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
½ sugar
¼ tsp salt
250g bean shoots
1 spring onion (10g), minced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seed
½ tsp kochukaru
¼ tsp salt
150g daikon radish, peeled and cut into squares
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
50g prepared kimchi
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.
For the spinach: Prepare a steamer and ice bath. Steam the spinach for 1-2 minutes or until it wilts. Cool it down immediately in an ice bath. When the spinach is cool, drain it onto a dish towel. Wring the towel to squeeze out as much water as you can.
Place the spinach in a mixing bowl and season it with the minced garlic, spring onion, sesame oil, soy sauce, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
For the bean shoots: Prepare a steamer and ice bath. Steam the bean shoots for 1-2 minutes or until it wilts. Cool it down immediately in an ice bath. When the bean shoots are cool, drain it onto a dish towel. Wring the towel to squeeze out as much water as you can.
Place the bean shoots in a mixing bowl and season it with the minced garlic, spring onion, kochukaru, sesame oil, fish sauce, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
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.
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 15
Execution Time: 20
250g beef sirloin, thinly sliced, simmered for 2.5 hours until tender
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Marinade:
1 spring onion (10g), minced finely
2 cloves garlic (6g), minced finely
1.5 tbsp soy sauce (18g)
1.5 tbsp sugar (18g)
1 tsp tamari
To Garnish:
Place the beef in a mixing bowl along with all of the marinade ingredients and stir gently until everything is well combined let the beef rest for 1 hour minimum or until overnight.
To cook the beef, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place a slice of beef into the pan making sure it is spread thinly over the base of the pan. Cook the beef on each side for 45 seconds to a minute and then flip and cook it for another 45 seconds to a minute.
Place the beef into a serving bowl and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, and sliced spring onions.
Serve the bulgogi with lettuce, steamed rice, cos lettuce, shiso, iceberg lettuce, and kimchi.
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
1 tbsp rice wine (sake)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp beaten egg
1 clove of garlic minced
2x2 cm ginger, crushed
For the dry dredge:
3 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp potato starch
1 tsp msg (optional)
½ tsp Asian curry powder (S&B)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ kochukaru
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking powder
To serve:
70ml cho-gochujang
1 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1 spring onion, minced
100g steamed Korean rice (optional)
Kewpie mayonnaise
Lemon wedge
50g kimchi
Cucumber kimchi
Assorted lettuce:
150g iceberg lettuce, 150g cos lettuce, 1 stalk perilla leaves
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.
