Kim Dae-seok's Albaechu Geotjeori

A springtime instant geotjeori made by crisply brining albaechu in water with dissolved new sugar and sun-dried salt, then lightly tossing with a special fish sauce seasoning paste and scallions.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When brining the cabbage, coating it with the new sugar water brings out the cabbage's natural sweetness and keeps it crisp until the last bite.
  • Using sugar can make the seasoning gritty or produce excess liquid, so use thick malt syrup to help the seasoning adhere smoothly and give a glossy finish.
  • If you mix the tender scallions with the cabbage from the start and handle roughly, they'll release moisture and give off a grassy smell, so be sure to add them only after the cabbage is coated and toss gently.

Recommended for

  • Those who want fresh, juice-bursting geotjeori instead of over-fermented, sour kimchi.
  • Cooking beginners who struggle with brining concentration or always fail at mixing kimchi seasoning ratios.
  • Those who want to make the perfect companion banchan to top on kalguksu, sujebi, or freshly steamed rice.
