FENNEL 'QUICK KIMCHI'



Fennel 'Quick Kimchi' image

This is not a traditional kimchi, but it approximates the flavor profile, bypassing a lengthier fermentation and instead relying on vinegar. In Korea, this dish would be considered a muchim, which can refer to any number of "seasoned" or "dressed" salads or other preparations. That also means you can eat it right away, though this fennel kimchi will keep up to two or three days before losing its crunch. Admittedly, fennel is not a traditional ingredient in kimchi, but its gentle aniseed flavor provides a clean landing pad for the spicy dressing, which leans on pantry stalwarts like gochugaru, sesame oil and fish sauce. Enjoy this as a hearty salad alongside fish, pork chops or any main dish that could use a fresh accompaniment. For a vegetarian option, you can swap out the fish sauce for soy sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound trimmed fennel bulbs (about 2 or 3), halved, then thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick) from root to stem
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon gochugaru
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Thinly sliced scallions, chopped chives, or cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss the fennel with the salt, transfer to a colander, and let sit in the sink to drain, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, add the vinegar and garlic and set aside.
  • After 30 minutes, add the sesame oil, gochugaru, fish sauce and sugar to the bowl with the vinegar and garlic and whisk to combine. Use a paper or cloth kitchen towel to pat the fennel dry, then add the fennel to the dressing and toss until well coated.
  • Garnish with the optional herbs before serving. This is best eaten right away, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 to 3 days.

CUCUMBER KIMCHI



Cucumber Kimchi image

This is an easy kimchi recipe to make. Cucumbers ferment the quickest-about 1 day out of the fridge. Use this recipe and method to make any kimchi you like. Napa cabbage is the most common but must be fermented for longer. You can play around with fermentation time and temperature until you get the perfect sour-funky balance you like.

Time P1DT1h

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 cups (1/2 gallon) plus 1/3 cup (1920 milliliters plus 80 milliliters) water
3/4 cup (180 grams) kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
20 Persian or Japanese cucumbers
10 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 bunch green onions, sliced into 1/2-inch lengths
1 bunch garlic chives, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup (95 grams) gochugaru (Korean ground chile)
1 teaspoon sugar, plus 1 teaspoon, optional

Steps:

  • Mix 8 cups water with 3/4 cup salt, stirring until the salt dissolves to make a brine.
  • Cut about 1/4 inch from each end of the cucumbers. Cut the cucumbers in half in the middle, not lengthwise. Hold the cucumber facing the circular middle. Cut them in half lengthwise, leaving about 1/2 inch at the end uncut. Cut them in half lengthwise again, perpendicular to your first cut, leaving the end uncut. You should have 4 semi-equal parts of cucumber, cut but still attached. Make two incisions, about 1/2 inch deep, on the top of the cucumber piece, then cut two more perpendicular to create a 3-by-3 grid. Repeat on all ends. This will help the cucumber catch and absorb the flavors. Repeat with the remaining cucumbers.
  • Soak the cucumbers in the saltwater for 30 minutes, no longer. Remove the cucumbers from the brine. Combine the onion, green onions, garlic chives, garlic, ground chile, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon optional sugar in a large bowl. I recommend wearing gloves for this.
  • Set three 1-quart jars on your work surface. Using your fingers, separate the cucumber quarters and stuff the chile mix into the cucumbers. Divide them evenly among the jars, pressing the cucumbers down firmly into the jars, so that all of the cucumbers are standing up, filling towards towards the top.
  • Stir 1 teaspoon of sugar into 1/3 cup water until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the sugar water over the cucumbers.
  • Let it sit 1 day, at room temperature, before serving. Cucumber kimchi ferments very quickly. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 3 to 4 days.

CUCUMBER KIMCHI



Cucumber Kimchi image

This recipe came to The Times in 2011 as an accompaniment to bulgogi sloppy Joes, as envisioned by the chef Hooni Kim of Danji, but they add a tangy flavor to whatever they're paired with. Making it is as simple as it gets - the cucumbers are quick pickled in rice vinegar and flavored deeply with gochugaru, or Korean red-pepper flakes. Serve it with the sloppy Joes, or alone, as a bar snack, with an ice cold beer.

SMACKED CUCUMBER 'QUICK KIMCHI'



Smacked Cucumber 'Quick Kimchi' image

This is not a traditional kimchi, but it approximates the flavor profile, bypassing a lengthier fermentation and instead relying on vinegar. Considered a muchim in Korean - which can refer to any number of "seasoned" or "dressed" salads or other preparations - this dish is best eaten right away, or at least within 24 hours, while cucumber's characteristic crunch is still intact. The smacking step creates craggy edges that help better absorb the spicy, funky dressing, so don't skip it. If you can, place a bowl under the colander in Step 1 to catch the cucumber brine; it tastes fabulous in a martini. Enjoy this as a side salad alongside any grilled main dish, especially steak, or any type of barbecue. For a vegetarian option, you can swap out the fish sauce for soy sauce.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, pickles, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound Persian cucumbers (about 5 to 7), cut into 1-inch pieces on the bias
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon gochugaru
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Coarsely chopped chives, thinly sliced scallions, or cilantro or flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • On a large cutting board, position your chef's knife on its side and press the heel of the blade to crush each cucumber piece until it cracks in the center, splits in half or splinters completely into pieces. (The variety in textures is a delight.) In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the salt, transfer to a colander, and let sit in the sink to drain, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, add the vinegar and garlic and set aside.
  • After 30 minutes, add the sesame oil, gochugaru, fish sauce and sugar to the bowl with the vinegar and garlic, and whisk to combine. Use a paper or cloth kitchen towel to pat the cucumbers dry, then add the cucumbers to the dressing and toss until well coated.
  • Garnish with the optional herbs before serving. This is best eaten right away, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

GRAPE TOMATO 'QUICK KIMCHI'



Grape Tomato 'Quick Kimchi' image

This is not a traditional kimchi, but it approximates the flavor profile, bypassing a lengthier fermentation and instead relying on vinegar. In Korea, this dish would be considered a muchim, which can refer to any number of "seasoned" or "dressed" salads or other preparations. Here, thick-skinned grape tomatoes maintain their snappy crunch, even draped in a fire-bright tangle of gochugaru, sesame oil and fish sauce. Though tomato's natural umami flavor multiplies the longer it sits, this dish is best eaten within 24 hours. When you're done, don't throw out the leftover dressing at the bottom of the bowl: Tossed in that tomatoey brine, bouncy rice noodles are a dream. For a vegetarian option, swap out the fish sauce for soy sauce.
