Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never rinse the salted cabbage and radish—using them directly preserves their natural sweetness and ensures proper seasoning in the broth.
  • Soaking sliced apple and pear in salt water prevents browning and maintains their fresh color.
  • Always strain the blended chili and seasoning mixture through a fine sieve or cloth to ensure a clean, non-greasy broth.
  • For best results, allow the finished kimchi to ferment for about two days on a balcony during cold weather before refrigerating.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, clean-tasting kimchi to pair with rich holiday dishes.
  • Those wanting to make a bright, crisp napa kimchi with abundant natural sweetness from fruit.
