The star of this dish is truly the dressing. First, green onions are fried until crisp, then the onion-infused oil is blended with kimchi, ginger, extra ground chillies, fish sauce, a kiss of sugar, and a splash of rice wine vinegar to round everything out. Creamy, funky, and spicy, the dressing is perfect with roasted green beans or any crunchy green vegetable (think: cucumbers, snap peas, or blanched broccoli).

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Cut green onions into 2 inch pieces. Slice into thin matchsticks, keeping the white and light green parts divided from the dark green parts.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. In batches, fry the white and light green onions until light golden, about 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the fried onions with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt as they come out of oil. Repeat with the dark green parts, reducing the frying time 1 minute because they are more delicate. Set aside and reserve the oil for later use.
Step 3
To make the dressing, place the kimchi, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, coconut sugar, Byadgi, and Sirarakhong Hathei chillies in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the reserved green onion oil and blend until emulsified. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Drizzle green beans with olive oil and salt, and place them on an oven-safe baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
Step 5
To serve, spread a generous amount of the dressing on the bottom of a serving platter, top with green beans, and garnish with the reserved fried green onions. Serve extra dressing on the side to spoon over at the table.
