Ingredients needed 4 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Do not add vinegar and 0.25 cup of soju while the brine is hot—this will cause the aroma and alcohol to evaporate. Always mix these ingredients only after the brine has cooled completely.
- When boiling the soy sauce mixture, avoid high heat—this can make the saltiness too strong. Reduce heat to medium as soon as bubbles begin to form.
Recommended for
- Those who love a satisfying crunch and rich umami in their pickles.
- People seeking a long-lasting homemade side dish with consistent flavor that boosts appetite during summer.
