2021, Dave, Korean, Side Dish

Kimchi is one of those foods that some love and others not so much. My departed wife, Youngmi, made excellent kimchi and, that’s how I was introduced to it and grew to love it.

There are two basic kinds of kimchi; fresh or fermented.

Fresh kimchi is the kind that you make and begin to enjoy right away. The fermented version you let sit for a few weeks before eating it. My preference is fresh kimchi. 

I found this recipe on Seonkyoung Longest’s website. It’s not exactly like Youngmi’s kimchi but, it’s darned close. Bt the way, Seonkyoung website is my go-to place when I’m looking for a Korean recipe that’s close to what Youngmi would have made.

So, let’s roll up our sleeves and make some kimchi!

I wasn’t a big fan of turkey burgers. They were always so dry and tasteless. I’m sure sawdust would have been just as good.

Then Colleen made turkey burgers with this recipe. I admit I was skeptical but was willing to give it a try based on the ingredients. Man, this is some really tasty eats! It won me over.

This recipe, unlike most of the others, is unaltered. The original recipe can be found here and makes 4-quarter-pound plus burgers.

So, if you’d had turkey burgers and thought they were inedible, give this one a try and see if it changes your mind.

This is some excellent tasting chicken salad. The original recipe is from Cook’s Country and was published in 2007. As our norm, Colleen took the base recipe and adjusted it to our liking.

The recipe calls for cayenne pepper. Some may be hesitant to add it but we recommend not eliminating it. The small amount doesn’t add heat but does provide a subtle flavor that really makes all the difference.

This works well to serve on top of a salad, make a sammie, or put it on crackers while you enjoy a beverage at the end of your day!

Ingredients

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 stalk of celery, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

1 small jar pimentos, chopped and drained

2 tablespoons sour creama

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 garlic clove , minced

2 to 3 cups cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • We shred the chicken by using our KitchenAid mixer. Break each chicken breast into a couple of smaller pieces. Toss into the mixer bowl with the paddle blade. Turn on low and let run until the desired level of shredding, about 45 seconds to 1-minute.
  • Combine cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, sour cream, lemon juice, cayenne, and garlic in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
