Bulgogi Kimchi Fries Recipes

Steps:

• For the sriracha aioli: Combine the sriracha and mayonnaise and store in a squeeze bottle for later.
• For the bulgogi: Combine the onion, garlic, black pepper, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce and sliced steak in a container and allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, place a pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak and kimchi and cook, stirring frequently, until the steak is cooked and the kimchi is warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• For the fries: Cut the russet potatoes into 1/4-inch shoestring fries using a fry cutter or knife. Soak in water for 30 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a heavy-duty saucepan or deep fryer to 325 degree F.
• In batches, blanch the fries until pale in color but still soft, about 3 minutes; put aside to cool. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F. Drop the blanched fries back in the oil until light golden brown, another 3 minutes. Toss in a bowl with salt and pepper.
• For the assembly: Place the fries down first in a serving dish, then cover with the bulgogi and kimchi mixture. Garnish with sliced scallions, the sriracha aioli and black and white sesame seeds.

Steps:

• BULGOGI: In a resealable plastic bag, combine the onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. Add the rib eye and toss to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate overnight. Drain the meat, pick off the solids and pat dry. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until smoking. Add the meat and cook over high heat, turning once, until lightly browned, 4 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and keep warm. Rinse out the skillet and wipe dry. TOPPINGS: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, vinegar, chile paste and soy sauce. Add the kimchi and toss to coat. Heat the skillet until very hot. Add the kimchi and cook over high heat until the liquid is thickened and glossy and the kimchi is browned in spots, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the 3 tablespoons of Sriracha. Scatter the french fries on a platter and top with the bulgogi and kimchi. Drizzle with some of the Sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle with cheddar, onion, sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve with additional Sriracha.
