Thank you for sharing this recipe! Momofuku has been the restaurant highlight of the year for me! Any way you can get the brussel sprout recipe?!! http://lovefeasttable.com/blog/oh-my-momofuku/

I should have pickled some of the ramps when they were available.

I was lucky enough to try some of Momofuku’s pickled ramps when I was in NY in May. They came with a sashimi-style dish. Absolutely added a perfect twangy touch to it all.

Those pickled leeks look deeeeelish! I wonder if it’ll work well with something else, like regular leeks, scallions, or even shallots…

Holy mackerel, those babies look good! Guess I’m going to have to try pickling some myself, Jaden. Our pickers (diggers?) are still bringing them in, so I guess we’ll have them for at least a few more weeks.

LOL I just noticed you’d already posted a link to my kimchi. Now I feel a bit silly for mentioning it. Thanks for the link:-)

The kimchi is really good wrapped around slices of sashimi, or even with just some hot rice.

Hi Jaden, not sure about the north/south distinction as we call them Ramps here in NYC too. I’ve been pickling them all season and have become hooked (I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I run out). Love the addition of chili to this version.

The spring leaves make really good kimchi (recipe on my site) and I’ve really become quite fond of pairing pickled ramps with sashimi.

I never had wild leeks until a dinner at a fancy restaurant a few weeks ago. They didn’t look like what I think of leeks at all. It’s like a scallion to me. Pinkling sounds like a good way to go, and with Momofuku god behind you, it should be perfect!
