Cooking tips

  • Adding too much sesame oil will dull the fresh, tangy flavor of the plums, so use it sparingly for best results.
  • For those storing this longer, adding about 2 tablespoons of soju during mixing helps preserve it and prevents spoilage.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy leftover plum pickles in a bold, spicy way.
  • People seeking a 5-minute, tangy-spicy side dish to revive their appetite during summer when meals feel bland.
