    • "You see 7UP quite a bit in Korean recipes," says David Chang. "My mom cooked with it: She put it in a noodle dish, she added it to beef stock." When he wanted to prepare a quick "white" version of kimchi, Chang opted for 7UP; it adds lovely bubbliness to the cabbage. It can be served as a side dish like traditional red chile kimchi or with cold noodle soup.

    Ingredients

    Makes: cups

      • 1 pound napa cabbage, —halved, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces
      • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
      • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
      • 2 scallions, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise
      • 1 carrot, very thinly sliced
      • 2 large red chiles, thinly sliced and seeded
      • 1 1/2 cups 7UP or ginger ale
      • 1 bunch of watercress, thick stems discarded

    Directions

    In a bowl, toss the cabbage with the salt and squeeze it to soften slightly. Cover with a small plate and a heavy can and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

    Pour off any liquid. Stir in the vinegar, scallions, carrot and chiles. Add the 7UP, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Fold in the watercress just before serving.
