Cooking tips 💡

• Do not mix the apple with the bomdong (winter napa cabbage) at the beginning—adding it too early causes the flesh to break down quickly and releases excessive moisture. Always add it last.
• The small amount of minced ginger plays a crucial role in masking the natural raw scent of bomdong (winter napa cabbage).
• If prepared in advance, osmotic pressure will cause excess liquid to form. Always prepare right before serving for maximum freshness.
