Recipe by: The County Fair Cookbook - ISBN 0-7868-6014-6 1. Make the kim
chee by adding the salt to water. Add the won bok and soak for 2 hours.
Drain the mixture and add the remaining kim chee ingredients. Let stand for
2 hrs. 2. To make the poke: Chop 2 cups of kim chee into fine pieces and
mix with ahi, onion, shoyu and sesame oil. 3. Make the 'taco' shells. Pour
4 inches of oil into a deep skillet or pot and heat until bubbling.Toss in
a rice paper sheet. Use a large metal whisk push the sheet down in the oil.
The rice paper will form itself into a taco shell around the whisk. Fry 45
to 60 secs.; the rice paper should be translucent and bubbled. Remove and
drain. Proceed with the rest of the rice paper. 4. Make the avocado sauce
by combining all the ingredients and whirl in a blender or processor until
smooth. (To keep the sauce from darkening, place a sheet of plastic wrap
directly on the sauce until needed.) 5. Fill the shells with the kim chee
mixture and serve with avocado sauce.
