Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. In a heavy bottomed sauce pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring 1-2 minutes until beginning to soften. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Add kimchi and cook stirring until most of the moisture has cooked out and it starts to stick to the pan.
  4. Sprinkle in flour and cook stirring 2-3 minutes until it begins to brown and smells “baked”.
  5. Slowly add in milk, whisking gently until full incorporated. Add in cream, whisking gently, allow to come almost to a boil.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in 1.5 cups each of gruyere and aged cheddar. Fold in duck and cilantro. Stir in pasta and test for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.
  7. Pour mixture into 9x13” or similar dish (can use a cast iron skillet). Top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake until golden, about 10-15 minutes. 
  8. Garnish with cilantro, green onion and chili pepper. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
