Comfort Food

June 12, 2004

Since I was 14 I’ve been a huge fan of kimchi (korean pickled cabbage). And lately not a day goes by when I don’t eat it. And lately I eat it with noodle-cut tofu, ‘white cheese soup’, black sesame seeds and wasabi peanuts.

I love the way the different textures of cabbage and daikon radish feel on my tongue, the prickling of the ferment, the mild, soothing tofu, the crunchy sesame seeds and the pungency of the wasabi peanuts. A pool of ‘white cheese soup’ (recipe follows) with spring onion provides contrast to the kimchi, balancing the flavours.

- fresh bubbling kimchi
- fresh raw tofu cut into ‘noodles’
- a white cheese soup (recipe follows)
- sprinkling of black sesame seeds and wasabi peanuts
