Kim Dae-seok's Melon Kimchi

A unique kimchi made by mixing the inner rind of melon, which is crunchier and sweeter than watermelon rind, with a sweet and sour, refreshing dressing.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Finely grinding the sea salt in a mortar helps it dissolve and cure more evenly without leaving gritty salt on the surface.
  • After curing, make sure to drain thoroughly and shake off excess moisture so the seasoning doesn't become watery and the kimchi stays crunchy.
  • Adding Cheongyang chili pepper adds a spicy kick that complements the melon's sweetness, resulting in a cleaner, more refreshing flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a unique gourmet kimchi instead of the usual cabbage or young radish kimchi.
  • Those who don't want to waste melon rind after eating the fruit and are looking for a healthy and delicious way to use it.
  • Those who enjoy crunchy, sweet-and-salty side dishes like seasoned cucumber salad.
