Ingredients




FOR THE QUICK KIMCHI:
1 large head of Napa or green cabbage, chopped into 2-3 inch pieces
¼ cup kosher salt
4 green onions, sliced into 1 inch pieces
1-4 Tb Korean chili powder
⅓ cup good quality fish sauce
1 Tb grated fresh ginger
1 Tb grated fresh garlic
FOR THE BULGOGI:
1½ pounds beef, chicken, or pork, thinly sliced
½ cup Tamari or soy sauce
1 Tb fresh garlic, minced
1 Tb sesame seeds
1 Tb toasted sesame seed oil
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup onion, thinly sliced
FOR THE SRIRACHA "SPECIAL"SAUCE:
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 Tb sriracha hot sauce
FOR THE FRIES:
3 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
2-3 Tb olive oil
salt to taste
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: chopped cilantro, chopped onions, extra Sriracha, and shredded cheese

Preparation

1 FOR THE KIMCHI: 2 In a large bowl, mix together chopped cabbage and salt. Cover and set aside for at least 6 hours. After 6 hours, place cabbage in a colander and rinse all the salt off with cold water. Squeeze as much water as possible from the cabbage and place in a large bowl. 3 Sprinkle over the cabbage, the sliced green onions, chili powder, fish sauce, ginger, and garlic. Mix all together, cover and place in a dark area for at least 4 days. 4 FOR THE BULGOGI: 5 In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 6 Grill or fry bulgogi over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked. Set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled, chop bulgogi meat into bite sized pieces. Set aside. 7 FOR THE SRIRACHA "SPECIAL"SAUCE: 8 In a small bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended. Cover and set aside. 9 FOR THE FRIES: 10 Preheat oven to 450. Cut each potato into slices lengthwise and then cut each slice into sticks. Place in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil so each stick is coated. Place potato sticks onto large baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Flip over and bake for additional 10-15 minutes, or until fries are browned and crispy. 11 TO ASSEMBLE: 12 Place fries on plate, top with chopped bulgogi, kimchi, Sriracha special sauce, and any of the optional toppings, as desired.
