Ingredients needed 20 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Microwave the diphori for about 1 minute 10 seconds before cooking to remove its characteristic fishy odor along with excess moisture.
  • Do not strain the yellow stone anchovy sauce—use it whole after cooling. This dramatically deepens the umami and richness of the kimchi.
  • A generous amount of fresh shrimp ensures the kimchi stays crisp and refreshingly cool as it ferments, preventing mushiness and extending shelf life.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make a sturdy 20kg kimjang for the entire year without failure.
  • Those eager to learn the golden ratio of traditional southern-style kimchi seasoning with deep, refreshing flavor.
  • Those who want to ferment kimchi that becomes increasingly crisp and refreshing over time.
