Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • By skipping the boiling step and adding soju, you prevent spoilage and maintain freshness for longer.
  • Use plum syrup that has been aged for at least one year—this ensures a balanced tartness and deep, rich sweetness.
  • The natural moisture released by the mustard greens will gradually balance the seasoning, so the initial brine should be slightly under-seasoned.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clean, refreshing pickled side dish to serve alongside pork belly or grilled meats.
  • People who want to make pickles easily without the hassle of boiling soy sauce.
  • Anyone wanting to enjoy the crisp texture and aromatic flavor of water drop mustard greens for an extended period.
