Kimchi Shrimp and Soba Noodles Salad

We've been taught to use our pickle brine to marinade meat, so kimchi counts, too. Here, it works its magic on shrimp, puncturing it with flavor and then serving as the dressing for a noodle salad.

Ingredients

  • one 16-ounce jar kimchi (or homemade equivalent)
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil, plus more for coating noodles
  • 6 ounces soba noodles
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
  • sesame seeds, to garnish
