Quick Scallion Kimchee

The perfect condiment to add flavor and a layer of heat to many foods. Try it with my Spring Minty Pea Soup

Makes: 1/4 cup, easily doubled

2 large scallions, cleaned, thinly sliced

¼ teaspoon coarse salt, such as Maldon

½ teaspoon light miso paste

½ teaspoon natural cane sugar

1 teaspoon fresh garlic, peeled, finely grated

2 teaspoon hot filtered water

⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ground – or to taste

a few shakes of rice vinegar, optional

Place scallions in a small serving bowl.
Place the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl, mix well to blend the flavors and dissolve the sugar.

Add the paste to the serving bowl, mix in well. Taste, add a a few shakes of rice vinegar if desired.

Use within an hour, or refrigerate in a clean glass container for future use.
