KIMCHI
A staple on the Korean table, kimchi is a pickled cabbage (and sometimes radish) side dish that is pungent and spicy. Traditionally, it has lots of spices and takes months to make, carefully buried in the ground to ferment. Forget all about that . . . this is a kinder, gentler version. The first thing you need to do is buy a bottle of Momoya Kimchi Base, a sweet and slightly spicy red sauce that has everything in it already. Look for it at your local Asian grocer or online. Once you have it in the fridge, you're set for a while-a little goes a long way. This recipe couldn't be easier to make but the kimchi needs at least a couple of hours to do its work, so plan ahead. I use the kimchi in practically everything from a topping on burgers to a filling for quesadillas (page 23). Spoon the kimchi into butter lettuce leaves and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for an incredibly tasty and healthy snack.

Steps:
- In a large nonreactive bowl, toss together the cabbage, bell pepper, onion, carrot, mint, basil, and cilantro. Add the ginger, lime juice, and kimchi base; mix really well to distribute the kimchi base so it evenly coats the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Th e kimchi will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let the kimchi come to room temperature before serving.
