Kimchi Slaw with Raw Cannabis Leaves: A Collab with @KoreanFusion
This week celebrates the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and it’s all dedicated to amplifying AAPI voices. So to kick off #APAHM, I've teamed up with authors, Seung Hee of @koreanfusion and Kim Sunee to give away a signed copy of their book, Everyday Korean: Fresh Modern Recipes for Home Cooks. Head over to my Instagram to participate!
Kimchi Slaw Recipe, Everyday Korean: Fresh Modern Recipes for Home Cooks.
I've adapted their quick, 30-minute Kimchi Slaw recipe to include chopped raw cannabis leaves and it's so bright and refreshing with the medley of herbs. She jokingly called it, “the gateway drug to Korean food,” and I have to agree. It was quite delicious with my lunch of Korean Fried Chicken. I’ll save that recipe for another day!
