“This fresh kimchi slaw takes no more than 30 minutes to make and yet has everything one would expect from kimchi—a satisfying combination of spice, tang, and crunch. Cilantro adds freshness but can be replaced with minari, watercress, or mint.”
Seung Hee Lee, the cookbook author and wine pairing expert, provides the perfect fermentation process needed to create authentic kimchi by adding apple cider vinegar to this recipe. Make this delicious, well-loved dish and pair it with a glass of sparking rosé if you’re in need of some bubbly.
