Questions

What can I use instead of gochugaru in Kimchi Salad?

The entry for Kimchi Salad calls for 2 tbsp Korean chili flakes. In its place: Use half as much crushed red pepper flakes, or sweet paprika with a pinch of cayenne. Gochugaru is milder and fruitier than standard flakes, so go by taste.

Is Kimchi Salad spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Kimchi Salad comes from 2 tbsp Korean chili flakes. For a milder plate, halve the chili flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Is Kimchi Salad keto-friendly?

A serving of Kimchi Salad carries 8 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of it fiber. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 40 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 8 percent.

Does Kimchi Salad contain sesame?

Yes: 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds. The full allergen list for this entry is fish and sesame. Seeds used as a garnish can simply be left off; the oil has no true substitute. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
