A quick and simple summer side dish made without salting the cabbage, preserving its crisp texture, seasoned with freshly ground red chili for a spicy, fresh flavor.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Summer napa cabbage has high moisture content; salting it will destroy its crisp texture and make it tough, so it should be used fresh without salting for best results.
  • Adding honey syrup helps lock in moisture on the surface of the salad, giving it a glossy, appetizing shine.
  • Pounding about half of the sesame seeds before adding them enhances their nutty flavor, allowing it to better penetrate both the dressing and cabbage.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a quick geotjeori without the complicated process of fermenting kimchi.
  • People looking for a crisp, spicy kimchi that pairs perfectly with kalguksu or ramen.
  • Anyone wanting to enjoy fresh, cool kimchi flavor instantly during summer.
