Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ can Spam®, cubed
1 cup kimchi
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
½ cup sweet corn
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Cut the Spam into small cubes. Chop the kimchi.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the kimchi and sauté until reddish-brown in color and most of the liquid has evaporated, 4-5 minutes.
  • Push the kimchi to the edges of the pan and add the Spam. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until starting to crisp, then add the sweet corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until warmed through. Add the sesame oil, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute longer, until the flavors have melded. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Place a tortilla in a clean medium skillet. Sprinkle ¼ cup mozzarella cheese over half of the tortilla. Add half of the kimchi and Spam mixture, top with another ¼ cup mozzarella, and fold the tortilla over. Turn the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Fry the quesadilla on each side for 2-3 minutes, until golden and crispy and the cheese has melted. Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN KIMCHI RECIPE BY TASTY



How To Make Vegan Kimchi Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: green cabbage, coarse salt, green onions, ginger, garlic, daikon radish, white rice, water, soy sauce, vegan sugar, gochugaru

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Sides

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lb green cabbage, savoy or napa
½ cup coarse salt
4 green onions
1 ginger, 2-inch (5 cm) piece
6 cloves garlic
¼ cup daikon radish
½ cup white rice
¼ cup water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegan sugar
1 tablespoon gochugaru

Steps:

  • Cut the head of cabbage in half lengthwise and slice off the ends. Quarter lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces.
  • Place the cabbage and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, massage the salt into the cabbage until it starts to soften a bit. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand for 1-2 hours. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold water, then let drain in a colander.
  • Meanwhile, chop the green onions into 1-inch (2 cm) pieces.
  • Peel the ginger and garlic.
  • Cut the daikon radish into matchsticks.
  • Combine the rice, water, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce in a mason jar or medium bowl. Use an immersion blender or standing blender to make a smooth paste. Mix in the sugar and gochugaru, starting with 1 tablespoon for a mild flavor and up to 5 tablespoons to make it spicier.
  • Gently squeeze any remaining water from the cabbage and transfer to a large bowl, along with the green onions and daikon. Toss to combine.
  • Add the seasoning paste to the bowl. Wearing gloves if you'd like to protect your hands from stings, stains, and smells, gently massage the paste into the vegetables until they are thoroughly coated.
  • Pack the kimchi into a large jar, pressing down until the seasoning paste rises to cover the vegetables and leaving at least 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space at the top. Seal the jar with the lid.
  • Eat the kimchi right away or, to ferment, let the jar stand in a dark place at room temperature for 2-14 days. You may see bubbles inside and liquid may seep out of the jar; to be safe, place a bowl or plate under the jar to catch any overflow. Check the kimchi once a day. When it reaches your desired flavor, transfer the jar to the refrigerator. Eat right away, or let sit for another week or 2 for the flavors to deepen.
  • Enjoy!
