Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch green onions
  • 1/2 c canola or rapeseed oil
  • to taste sea salt
  • 1 c baechu kimchi, lightly drained and roughly chopped
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar or light brown sugar, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp powdered Byadgi Chillies
  • 1/2 tsp powdered Sirarakhong Hathei Chillies, plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed

Instructions

Step 1

Cut green onions into 2 inch pieces. Slice into thin matchsticks, keeping the white and light green parts divided from the dark green parts.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. In batches, fry the white and light green onions until light golden, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the fried onions with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt as they come out of oil. Repeat with the dark green parts, reducing the frying time 1 minute because they are more delicate. Set aside and reserve the oil for later use.

Step 3

To make the dressing, place the kimchi, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, coconut sugar, Byadgi, and Sirarakhong Hathei chillies in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the reserved green onion oil and blend until emulsified. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle green beans with olive oil and salt, and place them on an oven-safe baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.

Step 5

To serve, spread a generous amount of the dressing on the bottom of a serving platter, top with green beans, and garnish with the reserved fried green onions. Serve extra dressing on the side to spoon over at the table.
