Cooking tips

Maintaining a 1:2 ratio of kimchi weight to water ensures a rich, deeply flavored kimchi jjim with just the right amount of broth.
Simmering covered over low heat for 30 minutes and then letting it rest for 10 minutes is key to achieving tender kimchi texture.
If the kimchi is very sour, add about 1/2 tablespoon of sugar to balance the acidity.
