10. Featured Chef to Know: Chef Bill Kim of Urban Belly - Chicago, IL
Chef, Urban Belly
3053 North California Avenue Chicago, IL 60618 (773) 583-0500
urbanbellychicago.com
FAST FACTS
Restaurant Recs: A Japanese grocery store called Matsuya
Kitchen Tool(s): Vita-Prep-we purée a lot of things. It almost intensifies the flavor of whatever you're making because you're blending all of the product and focusing on the flavor in that dollop of purée. It's the essence, in a spoonful.
Interview Question: I see if they have a dream for themselves. Where do they see themselves 5 years from now? That's my favorite question, because it means they're thinking about the next step and motivated to get there.
Flavor Combo(s): Coconut and lime; curry and squash; chorizo, Brussels sprouts and móle
Fave Cookbook(s): Nina Simon's Noodle-she's not a chef but it's the first Asian cookbook I bought.
Chef to Cook for You: My nephews-if they ever become chefs. Alain Ducasse would be great, too.
Culinary Travel: I would go to Hong Kong. I spent 14 days in Shanghai and Korea with a writer from the Tribune. We ate at 60 restaurants in 14 days. I hadn't been there for 20 years.

11. Recipe for Green Apple Sorbet with Red Bean Jelly from Chef Eric Kim of Cong-Du Restaurant - Seoul, South Korea
Adapted by StarChefs.com
Yield: 4 Servings
INGREDIENTS
Green Apple Sorbet:
1 green apple, cored and chopped Lemon juice 10 millimeters simple syrup Pinch salt
Red Bean Jelly:
25 grams red bean paste 70 milliliters water 3 grams agar agar 10 grams simple syrup
METHOD
For the Green Apple Sorbet:
Combine the apple, lemon juice, simple syrup, and salt and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until apple is very tender. Strain all of the liquid through a chinois into a blender and add half the strained solids to the blender. Discard any remaining solids. Purée the strained apple mixtures and chill the resulting liquid until it is cold. Freeze the sorbet in an ice cream maker. This can be made up to 1 week ahead of time.
For the Red Bean Jelly:
Wash the red beans, then place them in a pot and cover them with cold water. Put the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer until the beans are tender. Strain the beans and blend them into a purée. Combine the 70 milliliters of water with the agar agar in a small pot and bring to a boil over a medium heat. Stir the mixture and then add the simple syrup. Continue to stir until all of the sugar and agar agar have dissolved. When the mixture comes to a boil, add the red bean paste, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Pass the mixture through a strainer into a small container. Put the finished mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
To Assemble and Serve:
Plate the red bean jelly and plate a scoop of green apple sorbet.
