I know what you all must be thinking “enough with the ramp recipes”. I promise I’m starting to reach the bottom of the bag from my most recent foraging trip, so you shouldn’t see many more:-) In case you’re still looking for a place to buy ramps, there are a few sellers on ebay you may want to check out.
This is less a recipe and more a way to serve the ramp kimchi I made last week. The cold creamy texture of the hamachi makes a perfect foil for the intensely briny and spicy kimchi. This goes well with an ice cold glass of soju (korean vodka) as an appetizer, or along with a bowl of rice and some other small dishes as a main.
ramp kimchi (garlic chive kimchi works as well)
sashimi grade hamachi (yellowtail)
Put a plate in the freezer for a few minutes to get it very cold.
Using a very sharp knife, and cold hands, slice the hamachi into moderately thin slices (a little less than 1/4″).
Working quickly, wrap each piece of hamachi in a ramp leaf then plate. You want to handle sashimi as little as possible as the heat from your hands will melt the fat in the fish and change its texture.

I was just craving kimchi! Looks great!
Simple but gorgeous. I was thinking you must be getting near the end of your stash of ramps…well done for attempting to use them all though!
oh that looks wickedly good. i want some kimchi now actually, need some system cleansing!
gorgeous fish.
as expected, i fell asleep on the couch this morning and slept right through prime farmers market time. if i don’t get my ass in gear soon i’m going to miss the season altogether. this picture of powerful motivation though.
I could never get tired of these ramps, especially as kimchi. These are very kick ass Marc, I really want to try these but have no idea where to get ramps in my area right now!
i like that you are weaving in ingredients from recipe to recipe recently. it shows you what to do w/ a shitload of an ingredient (even as awesome as ramps). this looks so simple, healthy and delicious.
that looks delicious - ramp kimci combined w. hamachi - how perfect!
