Author Notes: This is a salad to go with nearly any meal. Great as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to rice and a protein. Very refreshing and easy to make, Mama O’s Kimchi Paste makes it taste great even if you don’t have time to make a traditional kimchi. —Mama O

- Inspect your bok choy and discard any damaged or yellow leaves.

- Dissolve 1 1/2 tablespoons of sea salt in 1 cup of water. Sprinkle over bok choy then press down to completely submerge bok choy.
- Let stand for 10 minutes. Then mix bok choy thoroughly frΩ and let stand for another 10 minutes. (You do not have to place a weight on top but you can if you want.)
- Rinse bok choy 2 to 3 times. Drain. Let stand in now empty rinsed bowl.
Everything else:
- Chop washed scallion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine Mama O’s Premium Vegan Kimchi Paste, vinegar, scallion, and sugar.
- Pour this mixture over the bok choy, then rub it over the bok choy with your hands to get an even coating.
- Add additional vinegar, sugar, and salt to your taste.
- Serve immediately or after chilling.
