Kim Dae-seok's Summer Napa Cabbage Water Kimchi

A refreshing water kimchi with crisp texture, made by marinating napa cabbage in a seasoning paste of cooled rice and apple, enhanced with New Sugar for crunch. The longer it ferments, the more flavorful it becomes.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding a small amount of New Sugar during brining prevents summer cabbage from becoming soggy and maintains crispness throughout consumption.
  • Using cooled rice instead of water when blending enhances the brothโ€™s clarity and promotes better fermentation and flavor development.
  • Avoid blending all red peppers at onceโ€”add part of them at the end and pulse briefly to retain texture and improve visual appeal.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, cleansing water kimchi to clear heavy stomachs in summer.
  • Home cooks who want a simple way to make water kimchi without boiling rice separately.
  • Anyone looking to master the technique of preserving crispness in kimchi through long-term fermentation.
