Can you share a recipe for the gazpacho? It looks and sounds amazing.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you! Sure! I am guesstimating here, since I kind of eyeballed everything and adjusted according to taste.

  • 2c cubed watermelon
  • 1 large cucumber, peeled
  • 2 Korean red peppers, seeds removed (use red bell for less heat)
  • 1/3c cucumber kimchi
  • 1/4c canola oil (use a neutral oil here, olive oil would taste weird with this combo)
  • 1/2tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Vinegar to taste

Buzz all of this together in a high speed blender and chill. I am guessing that I used about 3tbsp of rice wine vinegar, but definitely adjust according to your own tastes.

Garnish with watermelon, cucumber kimchi, chive oil, and chive blossoms.

Thank you! Shared a recipe for the gazpacho in another comment. Here are the recipes I used for the achar and rendang:

The potato starch noodles use this recipe (I added some sorghum flour to it as well to give it more flavor):

Fava bean tofu (this one was tough, but will try again):

Duck confit (swapped out parsley and thyme for cilantro and added ground toasted sichuan peppercorn):

The sauce for the noodles was made with doubinjiang, fermented black beans, vinegar, and sugar. I also sprinkled on s spice blend I made using Sichuan peppercorn, cumin, white peppercorn, star anise, and salt (toast everything, then throw it all in a spice grinder).

Your rendang looks really good!

She's Indian. But we cook lots of different things for each other, Asian or otherwise.
