Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When first washing yeolmu, remove dirt; after brining, rinse exactly twice lightly to reduce grassy smell and excessive tissue damage.
  • Flip the yeolmu after 30 minutes of brining so the salt water reaches evenly.
  • Drain the brined yeolmu for 30 minutes to prevent the seasoning from becoming watery.
  • When mixing, do not knead hard; gently lift and mix to avoid crushing the yeolmu or causing a grassy smell.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a generous batch of crisp yeolmu kimchi.
  • Those preparing a summer kimchi to serve with bibimbap or noodles.
  • Those who want to make a deep and refreshing kimchi seasoning by blending dried chili peppers and fish sauce.
