Kimchi Quesadilla

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the kimchi and cook, stirring, until caramelized and slightly charred, about 10 minutes.

   Step 2

   Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil to a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Place one of the tortillas in the pan and sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add about a quarter of the caramelized kimchi, a quarter of the sesame or shiso leaves, and a quarter of the sesame seeds. Fold over to create a half-moon. Continue to cook until the bottom of the tortilla blisters like a Neapolitan pizza. Flip the quesadilla over and cook the second side until it reaches the same doneness. Transfer to a plate, cut into triangle-shaped pieces, and serve.
