Summer Recipe: Kimchi-Slaw





This recipe is one of my old time favorites! It’s what I call New Age Kore-Am Kimchi Slaw. Low in calories and fat, high in fiber and vitamins, this nutritious, delicious and easy to make vegetarian dish can be made and enjoyed by anyone, at any time. If you don’t know how to make kimchi or can’t get any from the store, just buy a napa cabbage and soak it in salt water for about 6 hours or until it softens. To make salt water, mix 1 cup of coarse salt with 10 cups of water (1 to 10 ratio) Then quickly rinse and squeeze the water out before finely chopping it.



Napa Kimchi Cole Slaw Ingredients

* ½ head of cabbage (4 cups finely diced cabbage)


* 1/4 cup shredded or diced carrot
* 3 cups chopped cabbage kimchi (rinsed and drained)
* 1/3 cup red pomegranate vinegar
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar or sweetener (I use splenda)
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/4 cup buttermilk
* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* ¼ cup sour cream
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* ¼ cup dried raisins
* 1 cup, chopped sesame leaves (or Cilantro)

Directions

1. Finely chop up or shred cabbage and carrots

2. Place cabbage and carrot mixture into large bowl and add chopped kimchi

3. Pour the remaining ingredients into a food processor and blend until they become smooth and cream

4. Pour over vegetable mixture and mix thoroughly

5. Chill in refrigerator overnight in a Tupperware before serving

...and Enjoy!
