Ingredients

• ✓ napa cabbage
• ground pork
• soy sauce
• sherry
• cornstarch
• ginger root
• green onion
• wonton wrapper
• egg white
• soy sauce
• rice vinegar
• ginger

Instructions

1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add napa cabbage and cook uncovered until tender, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the napa cabbage is cold, drain well, squeezing out any excess water, and place in a large bowl. Stir in ground pork, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoon of minced ginger, and green onion.
2. 2 Arrange half of the wonton wrappers on a large sheet of waxed paper. Brush each wrapper lightly with the egg white. Place a heaping teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper. Gather all 4 corners of the wonton wrapper and pinch the edges together to seal in the filling. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers.
3. 3 Bring large pot of water to a boil and drop the wontons into the boiling water. When the wontons rise to the surface, continue to cook them one minute longer. Remove with a slotted spoon as they finish cooking and place on a platter.

Ingredients

• ✓ napa cabbage
• shrimp
• ground beef
• ginger root
• shallot
• green onion
• soy sauce
• sesame oil
• salt
• white pepper
• white sugar
• gyoza wrapper
• potsticker wrapper
• vegetable oil
• water

Instructions

1. 1 To make the filling: Place shrimp in a food processor, and process until shrimp are finely ground; transfer into a large bowl and set aside. Working in batches, process ground beef until fine, add to ground shrimp. Add ginger, shallot, green onions, napa cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and white sugar to shrimp and beef mixture; mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. 2 To fill the potstickers: Place a wrapper on the work surface and add a scant teaspoon of filling in the center. With a wet finger, dampen the edges of the wrapper. Fold dough into a half-moon shape, enclosing the filling, and press and seal to remove extra air and tightly seal the edges together. It's nice to fold several small pleats in the top half of the wrapper for a traditional look before you seal in the filling. Refrigerate the filled wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet while you finish filling and sealing the potstickers.
3. 3 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Place potstickers into hot oil, flat-side down, without crowding, and let fry until the bottoms are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn dumplings over, and pour water over them. Cover the pan with a lid and let dumplings steam until water has nearly evaporated and dumplings have begun to fry in oil again, 5 to 7 minutes. Uncover the skillet, and let potstickers cook until all the water is evaporated and the wrapper has shrunk down tightly onto the filling, another 2 to 3 minutes.

Instructions

1. 1 Place the pork into a mixing bowl and pour in the soy sauce and rice wine. Sprinkle with the white pepper, five-spice powder, and cornstarch. Mix well, then set aside to marinate. Soak the mushrooms in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes, then pour off the water, cut off and discard the stems of the mushrooms. Slice the mushrooms thinly and reserve. Soak the rice vermicelli in a separate bowl of cold water for 10 minutes, then pour off the water and set the noodles aside.
2. 2 Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, and cook until firm, flipping once, to make a pancake. Remove the egg pancake, and allow to cool, then thinly slice and place into a large bowl. Heat 2 more tablespoons of the vegetable oil in the wok over high heat. Stir in the garlic and dried shrimp, and cook until the shrimp become aromatic, about 20 seconds. Next, add the pork along with the marinade, and cook until the pork is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in the carrots and onion, and cook until the carrots begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Finally, add the bean sprouts, napa cabbage, and sliced mushrooms; cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes more. Scrape the pork mixture into the bowl along with the eggs, then wipe out the wok and return it to the stove over medium-high heat.
3. 3 Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok, then stir in the drained rice vermicelli noodles. Cook and stir for a few minutes until the noodles soften, then stir in the reserved pork mixture. Scrape the mixture in to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro to serve.

By Juliana Hale

Ingredients

• ✓ napa cabbage
• rainbow carrot
• kosher salt
• scallion
• chili paste
• white miso
• garlic
• ginger

Instructions

1. 1 Quarter each head of cabbage; remove and discard the cores. Chop cabbage into 1-inch pieces. Transfer in batches to a large salad spinner. Fill with water, agitate with your hands, drain and spin. Repeat with remaining cabbage.
2. 2 Peel and trim carrots. Cut into 1-inch lengths, then julienne cut.
3. 3 Divide cabbage and carrots evenly between 3 large anti-reactive bowls. Sprinkle 1/3 of the salt over each bowl, then massage with your hands until cabbage is well coated and starting to soften. Fill bowls with cold water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for 2 to 3 hours.
4. 4 Drain cabbage and carrots in a strainer. Reserve 1 to 2 cups brine in a sealed container.
5. 5 Meanwhile, trim scallions. Cut dark green parts into 1-inch lengths and set aside. Cut off white parts (the bottom 3 to 4 inches), cut into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a food processor. Set light green parts aside for another use.
6. 6 Add chili paste, miso, garlic, and ginger to the food processor. Process until fully blended; it will be thick.
7. 7 Transfer cabbage and carrots back to the bowls and add dark green scallions. Spoon 1/3 of the chili paste mixture into each bowl. Use food-safe gloves and massage it all over until vegetables are completely covered.
8. 8 Pack kimchi into six sterilized pint-sized jars. Cover with a 2-piece lid and screw partway to keep lid in place but not to seal.
9. 9 Transfer jars to a rimmed baking dish and let sit at room temperature until bubbly and fragrant, about 72 hours. Every 24 hours, open the jars and slide a clean chopstick or knife down all 4 sides of each jar to release air bubbles. Press veggies down with a spoon so they are submerged in liquid, adding a spoon or two of reserved brine if necessary, but veggies do release a fair amount of liquid. Because the lids are not sealed fully, there may be some overflow. That's okay, just wipe the jars and continue on with the process. It just means the fermentation is very active.
10. 10 After the 72 hours, clean outsides of jars and inner rims as necessary. Seal lids tightly and store in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• ✓ napa cabbage
• salt
• water
• water
• daikon radish
• green onion
• garlic
• ginger
• sugar
• salt
• white vinegar
• korean red pepper thread

Instructions

1. 1 Cut cabbage lengthwise into quarters, keeping the leaves attached to the core. Rinse cabbage with cold water and liberally sprinkle 3 tablespoons salt between the leaves. Place cabbage in a large bowl and add just enough water to cover. Set aside until leaves are soft, 4 to 5 hours.
2. 2 Rinse the salted cabbage 3 or 4 times with cold water and drain in a colander for about 20 minutes.
3. 3 Combine 1 cup water, radish, green onions, garlic, ginger, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vinegar, and red pepper threads in a bowl. Sprinkle radish mixture between all the cabbage leaves except for the large outer leaf of each quarter. Reserve the liquid from the radish mixture.
4. 4 Peel back the large outer leaf of each quarter, without removing it from the core, and fold the inner leaves in half. Wrap the outer leaf around the inner leaves and pack the cabbage quarters into a clean 1/2-gallon jar; pour in the reserved liquid from radish mixture. Seal jars and let sit at room temperature for 1 day. Slice the wrapped cabbage quarters into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
