My favorite new salad. No one can say no to kale when you dress it this way.... although I prefer to double or triple the amount of dressing that I make....
Excellent and tasty dish, easy to prepare! I used steamed kale and, to serve, added some home made ramen broth and toasted sesame seeds. Also, I increased, to my liking, the quantities of gochugaru and gochujang. Tops!
The beauty of this recipe is that you can dig out your veggie drawers for things that are wilting, or about to, and throw it in the bowl. I love kimchee, but I like to control the salt content. I doubled the gochugaru and gochujang and used fish sauce, which really makes a difference. I made this with napa cabbage, radish tops, and a box of baby kale that was on its way out. I didn't have any sprouts. The veggies reduce quite a bit. Served it with noodles. Chopsticks, of course.
I happened to have a bounty of fresh mustard greens so made this today and wow! It was delicious…with grilled fish or meat will be a wonderful addition
Made this with bean sprouts and mustard greens. The amount of dressing in the bowl looked small for all the veggies, so I doubled it. Don't! I ended up taking half the mixture and rinsing it and draining it and adding it back.
Delicious. Made this using a Vegan Fish Sauce (24 Vegan brand fish sauce, the best out there IMO) since my dining companion is Vegan. Used bean sprouts and a greens blend of baby chard, baby spinach, and baby kale. Massaging the seasoning into the greens is especially important. I let mixture sit for 15 min to maximize flavor. Next time I will add some minced serrano or Thai chilis peppers to up the heat factor.
