Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Be sure to completely remove all seeds to prevent cloudiness in the brine and avoid residue buildup during pickling.
  • Adding half a cup of vinegar during pickling effectively eliminates the characteristic sharp bitterness of nogak.
  • For storage, add a small amount of brine and 1/3 cup of plum syrup, then keep in a kimchi refrigerator—this allows the pickle to remain fresh for over a year.
  • Always drain sliced nogak through a mesh bag or cloth to maintain its crisp texture and enhance chewiness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make a crisp, non-bitter nogak pickle without its characteristic bitterness.
  • People looking for a flavorful side dish that can be stored for a long time.
  • Anyone interested in learning the technique of quickly removing moisture using a honey syrup and vinegar combination.
