Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid rubbing the lettuce too hard, as this can release its raw, pungent aroma; instead, handle it gently with your hands.
  • Adding 2 tablespoons of soju to the dressing effectively neutralizes the raw lettuce’s bitterness and pungency.
  • For best results, cover the container and let the kimchi rest for about 1 hour before serving—this allows the flavors to meld evenly and enhances the overall taste.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a crisp, savory side dish for summer meals.
  • People looking to creatively and efficiently use up leftover lettuce.
  • Fans of kimchi that’s not salty and offers a thick, satisfying texture with every bite.
