Kim Dae-seok's Cucumber Water Kimchi

A crisp cucumber water kimchi made by soaking cucumbers in a solution of New Sugar and sea salt to prevent softening, then mixing with a strained fruit broth made from apple, bell pepper, and other ingredients for long-lasting crunch and refreshing taste.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using a small amount of New Sugar along with salt when brining cucumbers helps retain moisture and keeps them crisp throughout consumption.
  • Never skip straining the blended mixtureโ€”leaving solids in will make the broth cloudy and heavy; always use only the clear liquid for a refreshing result.
  • Adding a small amount of soju to the broth helps prevent mold formation and reduces the risk of spoilage.
  • Do not rinse the brined cucumbersโ€”this preserves their natural flavor and prevents dilution of the brineโ€™s seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a cucumber water kimchi that stays crisp until the last bite.
  • People seeking a visually appealing, clear, and refreshing broth kimchi without any heaviness.
  • Fans of cool, naturally flavored broths made from fruits and vegetables.
