Cooking tips

  • If you use the radish without peeling off the skin, it won't easily turn mushy even after long simmering, and you can enjoy a fantastic two-tone texture with a chewy exterior and a crisp, crunchy interior.
  • You must thoroughly omit white sugar and starchy glutinous rice paste so that the broth doesn't become sticky, resulting in a clear, refreshing, and fizzy water-kimchi-style broth with a sharp, sparkling finish.
  • Be sure to use the original New Sugar with 5% saccharin in the exact specified amount to achieve a clean aftertaste without any artificial bitterness, and add the flavor enhancer precisely according to the blending chart for deep savoriness.
  • Even if you don't have a large container, using a sturdy double layer of kimchi-making plastic bags lets you mix a large batch of kimchi neatly without making a mess in a small kitchen space.
