A crisp, chewy Korean melon pickle preserved with salt, corn syrup, vinegar, and soju.

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Choose medium-sized Korean melons rather than very large ones for better brine absorption and superior texture.
  • Always place the Korean melons with the hollow side up; if they face down, the brine won’t penetrate properly.
  • Soju is used to balance and refine the flavor of the pickling liquid.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy fresh Korean melons in a unique pickle form.
  • People seeking a satisfyingly crunchy side dish during the summer months.
  • Those who wish to use the Korean melon pickle in salads or cold soups.
