Cooking tips

  • Using blended cold rice instead of making a starch paste is an easy and quick way to achieve the right consistency for water kimchi.
  • Since the lettuce releases moisture, the broth base should taste slightly salty when first tasted.
  • Turn the lettuce once halfway through pickling so the seasoning is evenly absorbed throughout.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to use leftover lettuce in a unique and delicious kimchi.
  • Those who want to make water kimchi easily without the starch paste step.
  • Those looking for a refreshing and tender side dish to stimulate the appetite in summer.
