Cooking tips
- Soaking dried chilies before blending results in a smoother, more refined broth color and a cleaner, less greasy taste compared to using pre-ground chili powder.
- Do not discard the solid pulp collected during straining—place it at the bottom of the kimchi crock. This adds depth and richness as the kimchi ferments over time.
- The inclusion of pickled cucumbers enhances the kimchi with a bright, refreshing aroma and crisp texture, maximizing its overall flavor profile.
Recommended for
- Those who want to recreate the refreshing, zesty taste of restaurant-style dongchimi/water kimchi.
- People looking to make a cooling, spicy cold soup alternative for hot summer days.
- Anyone wanting to experience a premium, unique kimchi by combining young napa cabbage and pickled cucumbers.
