A wild version of Korean pa kimchi, which normally uses scallions. This version uses invasive three-cornered leeks, but any green onion (ramps, etc) will work here.
This gorgeous, traditional kimchi is a stunningly pretty appetizer with fantastic flavor. My recipe deviates from the traditional by doing a short fermentation in porridge. Leftover porridge can be used for cabbage kimchi or flavoring other meals

Kimchi Powder? This recipe is a lot of work but it's results are a lot of fun. It's a great topping for french fries, popcorn, dry rubs, or an all-around intense seasoning.
KSK= Use whatever veg you have in the house when the kimchi urge strikes. Make the basic kimchi spicy paste (garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, fish sauce), but substitute roles normally played by cabbage and radish with any crunchy veg!
Kimchi offers an unlimited canvas on which to paint different flavors. Use any crunchy fresh vegetable or tweak the paste by varying the amount of ginger, garlic, fish sauce, and red peppers to customize the taste exactly to your liking.
