In a nod to kim chee, we took roasted peanuts and coated them with sweet-spicy kochujang, Korean chile flakes, and garlic salt as a topper for the kale and cabbage salad at Tin Roof. Along with a Sweet Onion Dressing and potato chips, it's robust and interesting, but balanced.
Not to get too bogged down in technicalities, but you'll notice I spell some dishes and ingredients differently than you might be accustomed to. (For example, kim chee rather than kimchi.) These phonetic spellings are reflective of how the words were translated and romanized in Hawai'i, which generally predated common usage on the mainland.
