Never made kimchi at home before? Now's the perfect chance. Double the batch and have some on hand at all times, if you desire. All you need to do is toss the napa cabbage, shredded carrots, scallions, rice vinegar, pickled ginger and juice, Sriracha, and salt in a bowl to combine, then let it sit until it's ready to use. It's that easy! Kimchi is one of our favorite insanely flavorful yet healthy sides. It nicely complements the pork that's brushed with a soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Sriracha mixture. You can serve this spicy dish with a side of nutty quinoa garnished with cilantro.
