Kimchi Sweet Potato Salad Recipes

KIMCHI SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the sweet potatoes in the oil.
• Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast the potatoes in a preheated 400F oven until the potatoes are nice and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile cook the bacon, drain and set aside.
• Mix the gochujang and mayonnaise.
• Mix everything.

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.

SHEET-PAN KIMCHI FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Place the rice in a sieve and rinse it under cold running water, shaking constantly, just a few seconds. Add the rinsed rice and 2 cups cold water to a rice cooker or medium pot and soak for 10 minutes. If using a rice cooker, turn it on and cook rice until soft and fluffy. If using a pot, bring the water to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to very low, cover and continue simmering, without peeking, for 20 minutes; remove the pot from the heat and let the rice finish steaming, still covered, until the grains are soft, distended and a little shiny, about 10 minutes. Uncover your cooked rice, fluff with a fork and set aside.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, gochujang, kimchi juice, soy sauce and sugar. Season generously with salt, then stir in the chopped kimchi and onion. Add the cooked rice, butter and seaweed and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt.
• Transfer the rice mixture to a large rimmed sheet pan and spread out loosely. Bake until the top of the rice is crispy and chewy but not burned, 25 to 30 minutes, opening the oven door halfway through (to check on it, but also to let excess moisture out during the cooking).
• Remove the pan from the oven. Using a spoon, create 6 shallow depressions in the rice. Crack the eggs into the depressions and place the pan back in the oven until the egg whites have just set, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately, while the eggs are still runny.

SPICY KIMCHI POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, scallion whites, kimchi, ketchup, lime juice, sriracha and salt.
• Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them.
• Transfer hot potatoes to a large bowl and toss with 2/3 of the dressing. Let cool to room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving, toss with remaining dressing. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with scallion greens and more lime juice to taste.

CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the Russet potato pieces into a large saucepan, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potato, and cook about 15 minutes more. Remove a piece of each potato, and cut it in half to see if it is cooked enough. Once the potatoes are tender, add corn kernels; cook another 30 seconds. Drain through a colander. Fill the saucepan with cold water, and drop vegetables into water. Cool for 5 minutes, and drain.
• In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.
• Cut cooled potatoes into 1 inch cubes, and add to dressing along with cucumber, and red onion. Toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Toss the peanuts in just before serving.
