Kim Dae-seok's Toona Sinensis Pickles

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Making a cross-cut on the root allows even cooking through the center and reduces blanching time.
• Wrapping the root in newspaper and blanching it first for 20 seconds ensures perfect balance between root and leaf cooking times.
• Adding soju to the marinade provides preservative benefits, keeping the pickles crisp and safe for long-term storage.
• Jujube syrup adds sweetness along with a deep, luxurious sheen and rich flavor to the pickles.
