Method

  • Note the kimchi requires 4.5 days of marinating time so plan ahead.
  • For the quick 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 the sliced green onions, chili powder, fish sauce, ginger and garlic over the cabbage.
  • Mix it together, cover and place in a dark area for at least 4 days.
  • For the bulgogi: In a medium bowl, mix all of the bulgogi ingredients.
  • Cover and place in the 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 F. 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 a large baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  • Flip them over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until fries are browned and crispy.
  • For the assembly: Place fries on plate, top with chopped bulgogi, kimchi, Sriracha special sauce, and any of the optional toppings, as desired.
  • Get a big fork and dig in!
