Lee Hye-jung's Asparagus Kimchi

A unique, refreshing kimchi made by briefly blanching asparagus in boiling salted water to enhance its crunch, then tossing it with a savory fermented seafood seasoning.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching the asparagus in boiling salt water instead of cold brine reduces its grassy aroma and enhances its crunchy texture.
  • Use only about 1/3 the amount of ginger compared to garlic to avoid bitterness and achieve a clean, refreshing kimchi flavor.
  • This kimchi is best enjoyed fresh and crunchy after a short room-temperature fermentation, rather than being aged for a long time.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a unique kimchi with a crunchy texture and distinctive flavor.
  • Those who want to enjoy seasonal asparagus as a delicious Korean-style side dish.
