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

FOR THE KIMCHI:

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.

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.

FOR THE BULGOGI:

In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients thoroughly. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

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.

FOR THE SRIRACHA "SPECIAL"SAUCE:

In a small bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended. Cover and set aside.

FOR THE FRIES:

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.

TO ASSEMBLE:

Place fries on plate, top with chopped bulgogi, kimchi, Sriracha special sauce, and any of the optional toppings, as desired.
