- Asian Slaw: In large bowl, toss together Napa and purple cabbage, carrots, green onion and cilantro. In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic until well combined; toss with vegetables until well coated. Refrigerate until ready to use or for up to 4 hours.
- In large, nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the olive oil over medium heat; cook onion, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until softened and lightly browned around edges. Stir in soy sauce, chili paste and sugar; cook for 2 minutes or until well combined. Add kimchi; cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture is dark red and caramelized.
- Prepare Superfries according to package directions; remove from oven and toss with remaining oil and paprika. Sprinkle cheese over top; return to 450°F (230°C) oven for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and gooey. Transfer Superfries to serving platter or divide evenly among 4 plates. Top with caramelized kimchi, green onions and sesame seeds.
- Hoisin Glazed Burger: Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Season beef with salt and pepper; gently mix to combine (do not overmix). Form into four 5-inch (12 cm) wide patties; create small indent in centre of each patty with thumb. Whisk together hoisin, chili paste and sesame oil.
- Grill patties, turning once, for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness. Brush with hoisin mixture during last 2 minutes of cooking time. Top burgers with Asian Slaw and serve on rolls; serve Kimchi Superfries and remaining slaw on the side.
