We were in the mood for a quick Korean feast, so I chopped up some kimchi and fried it in a little olive oil, added some grated ginger and garlic, some baby (actually Shanghai) bok choy, a tablespoon of gochujang and a little white wine, and let it all simmer for a couple of minutes.
(As to the amounts of ginger and garlic, always assume that I mean "to taste," that is, "to your taste." Experiment and learn over time what amounts of ginger and garlic make you and your family happy.)
I added a tiny bit of my homemade habañero hot sauce. When it was all hot, and tasted exactly the way I wanted it to (!)...
I served it over white rice with ribbons of omelet and chopped scallions on top...
This is the sort of meal that you can vary endlessly: add nuts... other vegetables... shrimp... chicken... beef... really... Endless possibilities! The rice could even be fried in the mixture to make a kimchi fried rice.
AND these ingredients are among nature's best medicines! During the winter, when viruses abound, it's always a good idea to ramp up the garlic, ginger, and hot pepper in your diet. And why buy commercial probiotics when there are fantastic fermented foods like kimchi available?
Try them! Now! You'll thank me, I promise.
