INGREDIENTS

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (or water)

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 medium red onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons  fresh ginger, minced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 bunch kale or collard greens (or 4 cups chopped cabbage)

  • ¾ cup unsalted peanut butter (chunky or smooth)

  • ½ cup tomato paste

  • hot sauce, like Sriracha (in the bottle with a rooster)

  • ¼ cup roughly chopped peanuts, for garnish (optional) 

  • Cooked brown rice, for serving (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Wash kale or collard greens. Remove the ribs and chop leaves into 1 inch strips.  Set aside.

  2. Combine the broth and water in a medium Dutch oven or stock pot. 

  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the onion, ginger, garlic and salt. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.

  4. In a medium-sized, heat-safe mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and tomato paste, then transfer 1 to 2 cups of the hot stock to the bowl. Whisk the mixture together until smooth, then pour the peanut mixture back into the soup and mix well. 

  5. Stir in the collard greens and season the soup with hot sauce to taste.

  6. Simmer for about 15 more minutes on medium-low heat, stirring often. 

  7. Season with additional salt or hot sauce if desired.

Seafood green onion pancake

 Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it!
