Kim Dae-seok's Kohlrabi Pickled Sticks

A premium side dish with a satisfying chewy texture, made without boiling soy sauce separately—instead using rehydrated kelp broth combined with soju and jujube syrup in a golden ratio.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding soju to the brine helps preserve the pickles, eliminating the need to boil the sauce on the stove and allowing for long-term storage.
  • Using jujube syrup instead of granulated sugar gives a smooth, non-sticky sweetness that’s not overpowering, adding a refined depth of flavor.
  • When removing seeds from chilies, gently roll the rounded end of a wooden spoon to avoid tearing or breaking the outer skin.
  • Do not leave the finished pickles at room temperature—store them in the refrigerator immediately and wait until the next day to enjoy for even seasoning and optimal taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who find it bothersome to boil and cool soy sauce every time they make pickles.
  • People looking for a unique side dish with a sweeter, more distinctive crunch than traditional radish pickles.
  • Fans of satisfyingly chewy textures and subtly salty, refreshing flavors in their side dishes.
