Cooking tips

  • When the weather is cold, use lukewarm water for the brine to ensure the cabbage salts properly within the time frame.
  • Place a small container or support under the cabbage while draining to improve water release.
  • Soaking dried chilies in salted shrimp and anchovy fish sauce beforehand results in brighter color and a more refreshing, savory taste.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a fresh, crisp, and refreshing spring kimchi instead of traditional winter kimchi.
  • Home cooks who want to make a clean, spicy kimchi paste by grinding dried chilies themselves.
  • Anyone looking to master the techniques of proper cabbage salting and precise glutinous rice paste ratios.
