Kim Dae-seok's Wrinkled White Kimchi

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• When salting the wrinkled cabbage, flip it two or three times midway to ensure even softening and prevent raw odors.
• Wrinkled cabbage often contains a lot of dirt and sand, so shake it vigorously in water to clean thoroughly.
• For a clear, non-sticky, refreshing broth in white kimchi, use New Sugar instead of sugar.
• Do not strain the blended ingredients—use them directly in the broth so the flavor deepens and enriches over time.
• The chili seed pouch wrapped in cloth is key: it provides the spicy kick while cleanly neutralizing the unique raw smell of the wrinkled cabbage.
