Tonight I made sushi and was really hungry and had half of a left-over cucumber. So, I went outside and picked some garlic chive to make it into kimchi. So here....is how I did!! :D (Kappa is the name of a mythical creature and the name for cucumber in Japanese).
Kyle's Korean Kappa Kimchi
Vegis:
1/3 Cucumber sliced very thinly
About 12 long Korean GARLIC chives (Wiki)
1/4 green bell pepper
1/6 onion
Sauce:
1 tsp potato starch
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp ground fresh garlic paste
1/2 tsp chicken bullion
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp ground fresh ginger paste
1/4 tsp Ancho chili powder
1/4 tsp Capsicum powder
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp mirin (optional)
a couple drops of fish sauce
First you need to cut the chives into 1-2 inch pieces. Then mix the sauce together and put it into a pan. Heat it up and sautee the garlic chives in it until it thickens. Immediately take it off and let it cool a little. Slice the onions very thinly into juliennes, peel and thinly julienne the green pepper, thinly slice the cucumbers on a mandolin and then let sit with a dash of salt on them so you can drain the water from them. Now mix them all together with the chives and sauce. Mix well and serve
There ya go...it's done...
It's good and not too spicy because I'm white and hate spicy stuff.
