Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use bolting lettuce or romaine lettuce instead of regular lettuce, as regular lettuce wilts quickly and loses its crunch.
  • Adding vinegar to the soaking liquid makes removing impurities easier and effectively eliminates the characteristic raw smell of lettuce.
  • For better color and visual appeal, lightly pulse the remaining red peppers at the end to keep some texture and bite.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to transform leftover lettuce into a delicious, impressive kimchi side dish on their table.
  • People looking for a refreshing, crunchy, and thick-textured specialty kimchi with a satisfying broth.
