Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Choose radishes with short leaves—they tend to be tender and less fibrous. Late summer or early autumn radishes can be quite spicy, so adding New Sugar sweetener helps balance the heat during salting.
  • Making deep cuts into the radish ensures even seasoning throughout and improves appearance when served.
  • When mixing the seasoning, aim for a slightly salty taste—this prevents the radish from becoming soggy during fermentation and preserves its crispness over time.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make an altari kimchi that stays crisp and firm even after long storage.
  • Those seeking a deep, refreshing Jeolla-style kimchi flavor using fermented yellow croaker fish sauce and ground dried chilies.
