"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Kim Chee #6

 

Ingredients

2/3 lb napa cabbage
1/2 lb daikon radish
1 medium cucumber
1 medium turnip
1/2 cup salt
1 tbsp salt
3 spring onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp dried chili flakes
2 tsp soy sauce/tamari
1 cup water



 

Preparation

Peel daikon, cucumber and turnip, and slice 1/4"
thick. Layer whole cabbage leaves, sliced daikon,
cucumber and turnip in a large bowl. Between layers,
liberally sprinkle with 1/2 cup salt. Cover with water
and place a wide plate or pot on top to submerge them.
Leave overnight or at least 12 hours. Drain & Rinse
vegetables in a colander. Julienne each vegetable into
a uniform shape. return them to the large bowl, and
add spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili flakes,
soy/tamari, salt and 1 cup water. Toss to combine.
Spoon the vegetables with liquid into a large crock or
clean jars. Cover tightly or cap. Refridgerate for 3
days before opening. Everyday, turn jars upside down a
couple of times to distribute spices, or stir
vegetables in the crock. Store in refridgerator.
Notes: Kim chee spiciness varies depending on the
hotness of the chili flakes used. The longer it sites,
the hotter it gets (up to a point). I cannot vouch for
the authenticity of the recipe, but its about as close
as I've come. beware 'kim chee' spices in oriental
food stores, as they most likely have MSG in them.
