Recipe
Cooking tips
- Using a small amount of Nu-Suga when brining radish helps draw out moisture more effectively than salt alone, preserving crunchiness throughout consumption.
- Never rinse the brined radish—washing removes valuable flavor compounds. Always just squeeze out moisture before adding seasoning.
- Mixing red pepper powder onto the radish before adding the seasoning ensures even color distribution without streaks.
- When scallion tops are thick, crush them with the side of a knife before slicing to ensure even mixing and consistent flavor.
Recommended for
- Those who want a refreshing, cool broth kimchi that gets better with age.
- People looking to make kimchi easily with leftover rice instead of boiling a full broth.
- Those wanting to try crisp, long-lasting kimchi using Nu-Suga instead of sugar.
