Kimchi traditionally accompanies Korean meals and has an infinite number of benefits and versions. The main ingredients found in this fresh and spicy preparation are cabbage and fermented vegetables with a garlic, chili and ginger based sauce. I like to keep some kimchi in the fridge to add both the health benefits it brings and its unique flavor to my preparations. Today's recipe is a super quick salad to accompany any meal, if you don't have cucumber, with tomatoes it's great too.
Ingredients:
½ glass jar of Kimchi
½ cucumber
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Dash sesame seeds
Dash salt
What other vegetable can I add?
Sliced green onions
Quartered tomatoes
Diced red onions
Shredded carrots
Shredded cabbage
Directions:
Slice the cucumber into half moons halves
Place the sliced cucumber in a mixing bowl or a glass jar
Chop the kimchi, add to the cucumber
Add the rest of the ingredients
Shake well
If you have time, let it stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes
Otherwise, serve and eat!
