Nothing complicated. Just good food, cooked outdoors

We’re back with Episode 2 of Cookout Sessions, where Sam Jones (@NoMeatDisco) fires up a feast of good eats, celebrating everything the UK summer has to offer. Nothing complicated. Just good food, cooked outdoors.

Episode 2 sees Sam head to 7th Rise in Cornwall, a wild spot ideal for swimming and cooking alfresco. Everything he needed to cook this mouthwatering smoky gochujang cabbage recipe, he carried in his backpack (yes, even the stove). Expect a good dose of cold dipping, sizzling cabbages, and a spot of birdwatching for good measure.

Smoky Gochujang Cabbage

Prep time

10 minutes

Cook time

20 minutes

Servings

Ingredients

1 medium cabbage (savoy or hispi)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper

For the glaze:

2 tbsp Gochujang paste
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil

To finish:

Toasted sesame seeds
Charred crushed peanuts
Kimchi
Oat Greek Yoghurt (or any kind of Greek Yoghurt)

Cooking Instructions

Prep the cabbage:

Cut the cabbage into thick wedges, leaving the core intact so they hold together.
Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the wedges:

Place wedges directly on a hot cast-iron skillet, grill pan, or tray in the Gozney Tread. Cook for 8-10 mins, turning once, until deeply charred and tender.

Make the glaze:

Whisk together gochujang paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Glaze and finish:

Brush the charred cabbage with the glaze and return to the oven or skillet for 2 mins to caramelize.
Plate up your yoghurt. Set your cabbage on top, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts before serving. Serve with kimchi.
