Kimchee Slaw |
Kimchi is a spicy Korean dish that is prepared by fermenting Chinese cabbage and vegetables with ginger, hot chili peppers, and other ingredients. Kimchi is similar to, but generally ferments faster than, sauerkraut. This one-meal version is one of Jamie's recipes - a perfect fit for the raw foodist in you!
