Kimchee Salad Recipes

KIMCHEE SALAD

Steps:

• Place cabbage, carrot 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.

QUICK AND EASY KIMCHI SALAD

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.

KIMCHI POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a pot of cold water and a handful of salt. Boil roughly 15-18 minutes. (Do not over boil or it will fall apart)
• Rinse with cold water so that you can cut the potatoes in half without burning your fingers. Cut potatoes in half and then pour 1 1/2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, sugar, salt, gochujang, and remaining 1/2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar.
• In a large bowl, add the shredded carrot (you can use the large cheese grater setting), sliced green onion, and chopped cilantro.
• Add the mayo dressing and the potatoes to the large bowl and mix gently. Refrigerate, then enjoy.

KIMCHI TUNA SALAD

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.
