Kimchi is a popular Korean side dish featuring fermented cabbage. Other vegetables can be used and applied with the same fermentation process to produce a similar taste and different textures. In this recipe, I fry some kimchi to completely alter the taste and texture for a smoky doppelganger! It is so great with Korean barbeque and with plain old rice. It is certainly one of my favorites and so easy to make. Enjoy hot or cold! Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup kimchi , chopped into bite-sized pieces, or to taste
- 0.5 teaspoons sesame oil , or to taste
- 1.5 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar , or to taste

Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Add kimchi. Saute until fragrant and slightly yellow, about 5 minutes. Add sesame oil; cook until kimchi is coated, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in vinegar to coat the bottom of the skillet. Increase heat slightly; bring vinegar to a boil. Add sugar. Reduce heat to low; cook until sugar dissolves and kimchi is browned, about 3 minutes.

Protein-Packed Spicy Vegan Quinoa with Edamame
I adapted this protein-packed spicy vegan quinoa with edamame recipe from a turkey burger recipe when I went vegan. It is also gluten free if you use gluten-free soy sauce. I use it as a post-workout meal, as it is delicious, satisfying, and relatively high in plant-based protein.
General Tso's Whole Turkey
A Chinese take on the holiday roast turkey. The sauce is a sweet and spicy flavorful glaze on the crispy skin of the turkey with a hint of orange and cranberry. The whole red peppers with green onions on the side add a festive touch. The dressing is a savory rice dressing with cranberries and nuts. Sure to become a year-round favorite. Garnish with whole dried red peppers and green onions along the side.
