Kalmond Pasta

20240919 #breakfastdiary 1184, 24°C/cloudy, 20 min exercise (M) This is the Kalmond Pasta from Karinji/Linga's snack bar in Hapjeong that I bought a few days ago. It apparently has garlic scapes in it, but I didn't have any, so I substituted frozen green beans. Turns out it wasn't plain Kalmond but Kim's Kalmond, with added seaweed. You need spaghetti, garlic, pepperoncino, and Kalmond. Boil spaghetti in well-salted water. Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté thinly sliced garlic, add 2 chopped pepperoncino, 1 tsp fish sauce, today's kick — 2 tbsp Kalmond, the spaghetti, and 1/2 cup pasta water, sauté, then add green beans and cook a bit more. Turn off the heat and mantecare (emulsify). Plate the spaghetti and top with a little Kalmond. 👆 To recreate the store-bought taste use 1 tsp fish sauce; if you prefer a milder flavor, skip the fish sauce or use just 1/2 tsp — Kim's Kalmond is quite salty on its own.
