Kim Dae-seok's Dallangmu Kimchi

Cooking tips 💡

• Modern spicy radishes lose their heat when brined in soda, revealing a refreshing, crisp texture instead.
• Wash the radish thoroughly before brining, and never rinse it afterward—this prevents the kimchi from becoming bland.
• The inclusion of soju in the seasoning helps suppress fermentation odors, keeping the kimchi fresh-tasting even after prolonged storage.
• The seasoning should be slightly salty at first—this ensures the right balance as the radish releases moisture during fermentation, preventing it from becoming too soft.
