Kimchi Quesadilla

Report

This dish started as a fun food for us to enjoy in the truck and it just hit the streets with a force. Its spirit comes from Koreatown.

Instructions

First cook kimchi with butter and continue to stir over medium heat til caramelized and charred, set aside.
Oil pan or griddle and place tortilla on pan and add 1 cup (115 g) of cheese on one half, covering to make it look like a black and white cookie.
Add 1/2 cup (60 g) of kimchi, layer two ripped sesame leaves, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
Fold over empty half of tortilla to create a half moon.
Continue to cook and flip over.
The quesadilla should look blistered like a Neapolitan pizza.
Cut and enjoy the drippy goodness….!
