The last rose of summer

August 24, 2011/1 Comment/in New basics Recipes /by Ozuke

Well, school started last week and there is always that feeling at the end of the summer… I call it the “squirrel gathering her nuts” mood. There is lots of canning, preserving and fermenting to be done at the end of the summer growing season. This moment, this gathering, this bridling of the abundance is really at the core of what we do at Esoteric Food Company. Our products aim to capture the goodness of the garden and keep it coming all year round.

This is a great piece I found on NPR about the tradition of kraut making after a bumper crop of cabbage. Whether it is from your own backyard, the farmer’s market or from a zuké that we are making for you, we hope you partake it eating some of this summer in a jar. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14442273

Kimchi Potsticker Recipe

August 23, 2011/in Kim Chi /by Ozuke

1lb of stuffing makes about 50 dumplings. i think that’s about one packet of wrappers though it does depend how thick the dumpling skins are.

Recipe for Kimchi Dumplings

1/2 lb Minced Pork or Roasted Yams with skins removed
1/2 lb Kimchi
50 dumpling wrappers
Sesame Oil
Soy Sauce
Some kind of Sauté Oil

– strain and squeeze Kimchi, reserve pickling liquid.
– chop Kimchi into little pieces… take your time to do this by hand for a better texture
– mix Kimchi pieces with pork or potato. use chopsticks or a wooden spoon and stir vigorously, use a little bit of pickling liquid if needed, but make sure that mixture is not too wet.
– mix in half a teaspoon of sesame oil
– wrap dumplings (wet edge of dumpling wrapper, don’t over fill, make little pleats or you can simply fold the dough in half and seal the edges)
– if freezing for another day freeze flat on a tray then when frozen you can store in a container or baggie.

to cook
– heat oil, add dumplings and saute on medium until bottoms of dumplings are brown (about five minutes). add 1/4 cup water and cover for another five minutes

to serve
– make a sauce using reserved pickling liquid, soy and sesame oil

ENJOY!!!
