Servings: 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 28- ounce package frozen french fries
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon shichimi spice
- 1 teaspoon Thai chili garlic paste
- 2 Tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup kimchi, roughly chopped
- 1 Tablespoon gochujang sauce
- ~1/4 - 1/2 cup scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
- ~1/4 cup cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Bake fries according to package (or bake your own!). I like to add additional salt to the fries. 2-3 minutes before fries are finished cooking, push fries closer together, top with cheese, and continue baking until melted.
- While fries are cooking, heat a skillet over medium with butter. Add onions and cook for 5-8 minutes until tender and beginning to caramelize. Add kimchi and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes. Add gochujang sauce just before removing from heat. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the spicy mayo by mixing together mayonnaise, shichimi spice, Thai chili paste, and salt as needed. Set aside.
- Once fries have finished cooking and the cheese is melted, top with onion and kimchi mixture, drizzle on the spicy mayo, and top with scallions and cilantro.
