Description
A quick lettuce “kimchi” salad is a great way to have a “kimchi” style side dish, but ready in the spur of the moment! Spicy, tangy & easy!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 romaine lettuce bunch*
- 1/2 medium white onion*
Sauce:
- 1–2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch ginger (about 2 tbsp, minced or grated)
- 1 1/2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp red chilli flakes (or 1/4 thai red chilli or chilli garlic sauce)
*Fresh Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- If your sesame seeds are not toasted, heat a pan over medium heat and add the seeds to the dry pan. Toast until golden and fragrant.
- Meanwhile, wash and coarsely chop your lettuce. Slice your onion into long, thin strips.
- Combine the sauce ingredients in a salad bowl and add the chopped lettuce and onion. Toss well to combine and wilt the lettuce.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy! If you do have leftovers, this salad actually works well if left for a day or two. The more wilted and heavy with sauce the lettuce becomes, the closer it gets to a “kimchi” style.
