KIMCHI CARBONARA



Kimchi Carbonara image

The chef Melanie Hye Jin Meyer is constantly researching Korean foodways to create dishes for her Korean-inspired pop-up restaurant Tiny Chef in St. Louis. Kimchi carbonara, which she was seeing all over Korean TikTok, spoke to her. "I love how Korea somewhat recently started introducing cheese on everything," Ms. Meyer said. "I'm all for it, especially being from the Midwest." This is her take on the cultural mashup as a Korean adoptee. She cooks down napa cabbage kimchi until soft, and cuts through the buttery base with white wine. The dish comes together quickly, so have everything prepped and ready to go before starting the sauce.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Coarse kosher salt
1 pound thick spaghetti
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 small shallot, minced (1 tablespoon)
6 medium garlic cloves, minced (2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup diced napa cabbage kimchi
1/4 cup kimchi juice (see Tip)
3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1 cup red spinach or regular spinach, thinly sliced
Gochugaru (Korean red-chile flakes), for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the shallot. Cook, stirring constantly, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine and stirring to loosen any browned bits, and season with 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Let simmer until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
  • Slip the kimchi into the skillet and cook until the cabbage is slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss well to coat.
  • Once the pasta is incorporated, remove from the heat, add the kimchi juice, egg yolks and cheese, and toss vigorously to coat the pasta. If the pasta seems dry, add some reserved pasta cooking water. Divide among four bowls and top with the spinach, more Parmesan and a sprinkle of gochugaru.

THE BEST CARBONARA



The Best Carbonara image

Now this is our idea of comfort food. Creamy and rich, it's the quintessential dish for a chilly evening. We like to splurge every once in a while and add a knob of butter to the cheesy egg sauce just to round it out. We've left that option up to you, however. Either way, we can't think of a more classic or satisfying pasta dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
4 large eggs, plus 2 large yolks
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (optional)
1 pound spaghetti
One 12-ounce piece pancetta, cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
  • Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
  • Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.

DAIKON CARBONARA



Daikon Carbonara image

From Makiko Oda's cookbook, page 158. It is part of her winter menu. Daikon is Japanese radish, it's very long and white. I've seen them in American supermarkets. It can be eaten plain, but Makiko Oda suggests it be eaten with bread/rolls or pasta. "Daikon leaves" are not an ingredient found on Recipezaar, so it got changed to Daikon sprouts. The Daikon leaves are a good source of carotene and Vitamin C. The powdered cheese should be a white powdered cheese, like parmesan.
