Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups panko
1/4 white sesame seeds
1/4 cup korean chile flakes
8 to 12 large prawns, peeled and de-veined , tails intact, head on
salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose
3 whole eggs, beaten with 2 tbsp cold water
canola oil, for frying
1 cup cooked and seasoned brown rice
kimchi , recipe follows
aioli , recipe follows
5 scallion greens , thinly sliced on the bias
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 medium sized cucumbers, seeds removed and cut in half lengthwise
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 tsp garlic, chopped
1/8 cup fish sauce
2 tbsp korean chile flakes
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 cups rice wine vinegar
2 egg yolks
3 tbsp korean chile paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp garlic, chopped
3/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl combine the panko, sesame seeds, and chile flakes. Season the prawns with salt and pepper and coat well with the flour. Dip the flour-coated prawns into the egg and then the panko mixture.
Prepare a fryer or medium heavy pot one-third full with the oil and heat over high heat to 350 degrees F. Add the prawns to the oil and fry until golden and crispy. Remove the prawns and drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.
On an oval plate, place a small mound of rice topped with the kimchi. Place two of the prawns over the kimchi and drizzle with the Aioli. Garnish with the sliced scallions.
Beverage: Gewurtztraminer
Kimchi:
Sprinkle the kosher salt on the flesh-side of the cucumbers and then place them flesh-side down in a perforated pan for about 3 hours. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the onion, carrot, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, chile flakes, sugar, and black pepper. When the 3 hours have passed, rinse the cucumbers well with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the cucumbers into 1/8-inch half-moon shapes and add to the bowl.
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar to a simmer and pour it into the bowl of vegetables. Cover the bowl tightly and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours before serving.
Aioli:
In a food processor, puree the egg yolks, chile paste, sugar, and garlic. While the processor is running, slowly add the canola oil and the sesame oil until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the vinegar, and season with the salt and pepper. Add a little cold water if the aioli is too thick.
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
