Kim Dae-seok's Young Napa Cabbage Water Kimchi

A spring seasonal water kimchi that uses blended cold rice instead of flour paste, with tomatoes for a refreshing, tangy, and deep savory taste.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The acidity and juice of the tomatoes develop a refreshing, fizzy carbonation-like sharpness in the water kimchi as it ferments.
  • Do not grind all the dried chilies at once. Add some later and pulse to leave coarse chili seeds and flakes, which creates a more appealing color and texture.
  • After a day, the cabbage releases its own moisture, so do not add too much brine initially; aim for it to just cover the vegetables.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a refreshing, zesty water kimchi to awaken the appetite in spring and summer.
  • Those who want to make kimchi simply with cold rice without the complicated process of boiling porridge.
