Kimchi Cheese Sauce: Place potatoes, onion, garlic, scallion whites, vegan kimchi, gochugaru, ground turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cashews, and vegetable oil in a small pot over medium high heat. Next, add the gochujang and stir until all the vegetables are evenly coated. Deglaze the pot with the soy sauce and stir. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and lower the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Add all the contents of the pot to a powerful blender. Add nutritional yeast, kimchi liquid, plant milk, lemon juice, maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth (about 1 minute on a high powered blender). Baked Fries: Preheat your oven to 475°F. Chop the potatoes up into wedges. Add them to a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes, until they are chopstick tender. Add oil to a large baking sheet. Spread the par-boiled potatoes onto the baking sheet so they are not touching. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Place the baking sheet on lowest rack of your oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown. Flip the wedges and bake for an additional 7 minutes, until both sides are golden brown. Sweet and Sour Kimchi Topping: Add oils to a large pan over medium high heat. Next, add scallion whites, onion, and garlic to the oil and cook until the onions become translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the kimchi and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add gochujang and maple syrup. Stir the vegetables until evenly coated and cook for an additional 3 minutes, until the kimchi is soft. continued in part 2 MMMMM .
