Cooking tips

  • Using a brine solution instead of sprinkling salt directly ensures even and faster penetration of seasoning throughout the cabbage.
  • Do not rinse the salted cabbage before mixing—this preserves the rich broth that develops during fermentation, giving a thick, refreshing watery kimchi texture.
  • If avoiding chemical seasonings like monosodium glutamate, increase the kangaroo fish sauce by about 1 tablespoon to balance saltiness and enhance umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a unique, refreshing, and crunchy kimchi to boost their appetite in summer.
  • People who find traditional kimchi preparation with rice paste too burdensome and are looking for a simpler recipe.
  • Individuals tired of store-bought kimchi and seeking a high-value, low-cost side dish made in bulk with minimal ingredients.
