Sweet and spicy cabbage

Hot and sour cabbage makes our taste buds tingle: it’s crunchy, it’s spicy, it’s a little tangy, and above all, it’s absolutely delicious!

This gazpacho is perfect for high, hot, humid summers. It's spicy, savory, and sweet. Kimchi, full of sharp aromatics and a mild fizz, prevents the gazpacho from being too sweet. If you’re lucky enough to score some oi (cucumber) kimchi, sub that for the Napa cabbage. Cashews add a silky heft to the gazpacho with none of the stodginess that bread can sometimes bring. Cold mutes flavor, so season the gazpacho before chilling until it has the pucker of a salt and vinegar chip

This is what we call a surprising combo of ingredients! It starts as a simple cabbage stir fry, but we’ve added some seeds, a nice fruit mix, ginger, chili, and a few spices. Sweet, spicy, fruity flavors, all in the same dish, which should totally surprise your taste buds.

A great easy (but fancy looking!) side dish. Serve warm or at room temperature alongside chicken, fish or your favorite vegetarian main.
