Spicy Kimchi Poutine - Vegan

I think I've created the ultimate recipe for those of you who love Korean food and I guess poutine. I had been trying Chi Kitchen's vegan kimchi, and was thinking up some new and creative recipes to apply the kimchi to. Anyways, I settled on poutine. It's not a dish you would think of putting kimchi on and the results were delicious.

So, I doubt there are vegan cheese curds sold at the supermarket, and I was too lazy to make any. But I did find some non-shredded Daiya cheese at the grocery store and so decided on using that. As mentioned in the video, big chunks of Daiya don't tend to melt well, so I would say if you wanted your cheese to be nice and melted, shred it first.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Toss the potates, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a bowl. Bake on a sheet tray for about 35-40 minutes, flipping in between.
  3. Meanwhile, place kimchi and red onions onto another sheetpan. Put it into the oven during the last 15 minutes, while the potatoes are baking.
  4. In a baking pan, mix together the potatoes, kimchi and onions. Spoon on several spoonfuls of the prepared gravy. Then add on the cheese.
  5. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is slightly melted.
