Recipe
Cooking tips
- Adding a little New Sugar when pickling cucumbers draws out moisture and keeps them crunchy until the end.
- Removing Korean melon seeds completely prevents the broth from becoming cloudy, keeping it clear and clean.
- Unlike summer radish kimchi, cucumber water kimchi must have the seasoning solids strained out to avoid a thick, murky taste and keep it refreshing.
- A small amount of soju acts as a preservative, slowing fermentation and spoilage.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a cool, clean-tasting water kimchi to stimulate appetite in summer.
- Those who want to make crunchy cucumber kimchi that stays crisp until the last bite.
- Those interested in trying a unique, sweet dish using Korean melon.
