Kimchi pastries, anyone?
Stolen from KBS World Radio Website
You may not have heard this, but kimchi is one of the world’s healthiest foods. In addition to fighting cancer, it also prevents SARS, AIDS, menstrual cramps, athlete’s foot, jock itch, anal warts, and domestic violence.
So it only makes sense that you find a way to cook kimchi into every dish. One of the more creative items to date is the Pastry Cream Kimchi Mille-feuille. There are twelve steps to preparing this delicacy including:
Drain the diced candied kimchi cabbage and combine with 500 g of the cooled pastry cream. Whisk the whipping cream until soft peaks form and fold it gently into the pastry cream. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle.
Tell me that doesn’t make your mouth water. But in case it doesn’t, KBS World Radio also provides a recipe for Chocolate Cake with kimchi. Mmmmm!
This inspired me to ponder what other delectable treats await the magical touch of kimchi. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:
Kimchi candied apples
Kimchi taffy
Kimchi gum
Kimchi cotton candy
Kimchi marshmallows
Kimchi Kool-aid
Kimchi eclairs
Kimchi maple bars
Kimchi pancakes
Kimchi nasal spray
Feel free to contribute your own inspirations.
There is an easier way to get kimchi flavor suffused into your favorite foods. Put the kimchi in a sealed container into the same refrigerator containing these foods — in no time flat the contents of the refrigerator will taste just like kimchi.
It’s funny that you should mention that. I’ve been trying for the past two months to get the kimchi smell out of my refrigerator. Any suggestions?
(And a tip for anyone who might read this: Only buy milk in plastic containers if you wish to keep the kimchi flavor out.)
open the fridge door and leave it open. get soy sauce trays and fill them with white vinegar. put the trays in the fridge. let the whole deal sit for a day or so by an open window.
after a day or so, take out the trays and close the fridge door. take the fridge out to the curb and leave it there for pickup. buy a new fridge.
There is only one way to get a kimchi smell-free refrigerator. Go to E-Mart and buy a new refrigerator. Don’t put any kimchi in it! (Better yet, don’t bring any kimchi into the house where that new refrigerator is located.) If that’s not possible, due to your twisted sexual practices, then do the next best thing, which all the well-to-do Korean families are doing these days: Buy a special “Dimchae” refrigerator just for kimchi. Don’t put any milk or chocolate cake in it!
Thanks guys. At least I know my refrigerator is in no danger of contracting SARS.
