How to Make Kim Chi - StumbleUpon Of the countless varieties of kim chi that are made in Korea, by far the most common and celebrated version is made with Napa cabbage. Kim chi that's made with cabbage is loaded with indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a compound that is well recognized as a powerful cancer-fighting compound. Numerous studies indicate that I3C can offer protection against many different types of cancer and may even stop the growth of existing tumors. You could hop on over to a local Korean market to buy a bottle of kim chi, but it may not be as healthy as you'd like, since most commercially prepared varieties are made with white sugar and shrimp. To make healthy kim chi that still has lots of flavor and health-promoting compounds, start with a whole head of fresh Napa cabbage: Separate the leaves and chop them up into bite-size pieces. Measure out a quarter cup of sea salt. And add it to a small bowl of warm water. Give it a gentle stir until the salt is dissolved. Now a bit of waiting time. Crushed red pepper flakes
Crispy Yogurt Chicken I love chicken legs. So does Marlboro Man. So do the punks. This means I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to cook them, since I’ve fried so many chicken legs in my life, I could fuel Airforce One for a year with the leftover oil. This is a yummy, quick way to spruce up chicken, and considering I threw the dish together with ingredients I already had on hand (translation: I had no food and was scouring the pantry and fridge for something warm and hot to fix for my ravenous family) it turned out beautifully. The fact that I actually remember the year I started using Panko bread crumbs should give you some idea as to why I can’t remember my grandmother’s birthday or important things I have to mail. The Cast of Characters: Chicken (I used legs, but any piece of chicken will do), Plain, Unflavored Yogurt, Garlic, Parsley, Lemon Juice, Salt, Butter, and Panko Bread Crumbs. Behold the Panko bread crumbs. Speaking of Yum. Butter, too. Oh! Now peel a couple of cloves of garlic…

Cheesecake Bars I was in the mood for something cold and lip-smackingly sweet. Something I could sink my teeth into. Something to maintain my weight. So I made this treat with a few of my favorite things. Cheesecake. Chocolate. and these cookies. If you ever fly Delta, then you’ve probably had them before. They’re a crunchy, no-frills, sans chocolate type of cookie. So I thought they would be great to use for the cheesecake crust. Throw the cookies into a food processor and chop them up into beautiful golden brown cookie powder. About 1 1/2 cups worth. Then add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar. Don’t you love how packed brown sugar looks? To make the crust, mix the cookie crumbs and brown sugar together. Mix up the cheescake ingredients and pour it on the crust. Oh yeah! Then bake it at 325 degrees for about 45 minutes. And let it cool. And try not to eat it. Then whip up some chocolate ganache to pour on top. Oh yeah. Spread the chocolate evenly on top of the cheesecake and then refrigerate overnight.
