Kim Dae-seok's Citron-Infused Altari-mu Pickle

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Always place garlic and ginger in a mesh bag to prevent small particles from dispersing into the brine.
• If citron leaves are unavailable, substitute with lemon slices or lemon juice for a fresh citrus aroma.
• Slice the altari-mu uniformly at about 5mm thickness to ensure even fermentation and consistent texture.
