This is a spicy slaw, that looks sort of like kimchee, is spicy like kimchee, but really is a slaw. I loved the texture, and I especially liked it with black pork belly.

Korean Cold Noodle Soup (Janchi guksu)

By Linda’s Yummies, Asian Inspired Recipes

My favorite summertime soup for the past couple of years has been a Korean cold noodle soup called “janchi guksu.” It’s made with thin, white wheat noodles and a light broth consisting of dried anchovies and kelp (or “dasima” in Korean and “kombu” in Japanese). The Korean word “janchi” translates to banquet or feast (special events or gatherings such as weddings, birthday parties) and “guksu” means noodles. The noodles are typically served with julienne vegetables, thinly sliced omelet, and/or beef along with a spicy sauce made with garlic, scallions, Korean red pepper powder, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

A big hit with kids, the ribs are slightly sweet, but not cloyingly so, but are rich and full of flavor.

The kimchee flavor blends so harmoniously into the background, all you knew was that you were eating a delicious burger, but you didn’t attribute it to the kimchee. So, if you want to put a little kick in your burger (incidentally, it’s not spicy), try adding some kimchee, and get your taste buds revved up for some action.

Large pieces of shrimp and squid nestle between long threads of scallion, making this almost a meal on its own. These pancakes are best eaten hot but are delicious even at room temperature.
