The now ubiquitous Korean condiment can lend a savory, salty punch to many types of dishes.
We’ve all got a few favorite ingredients that are always in our refrigerators or cabinets — things that can both enliven an ordinary dish as a garnish and form the basis of a meal. For me, one of those secret weapons is kimchi.
Korean in origin, kimchi is a fermented mélange of vegetables, often centered on cabbage and radishes, though you might find some versions with carrots, scallions or other vegetables. It’s spicy, salty and definitely funky, thanks to that fermentation. Some versions use seafood-based ingredients, but vegan varieties are not hard to find either. Excellent local or small-batch brands abound these days , although almost any decent grocery store will carry at least one type.
Sesame-Chili Salsa, above. This condiment is a manageable step above what you would get if you decided to just put plain kimchi on top of your, say, tacos. With a generous amount of scallions, sesame oil, sesame seeds and soy sauce, the salsa would be great with any sort of grilled meat, too. Steel-Cut Oats With Kimchi.
