🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want a crunchy and savory geotjeori to serve with bossam, jokbal, or cold boiled pork
  • Those who want to make fresh kimchi quickly without the hassle of salting cabbage

Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • Half a head of napa cabbage
  • 2 stalks green onion
  • Half cup cooking oil (about 105ml)
  • 1 cup spicy red pepper powder
  • 1 cup coarse red pepper powder
  • Half cup sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons Miwon (MSG)
  • 4 tablespoons minced garlic
  • Half cup kanari fish sauce

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour about half a cup of cooking oil into a pan and warm it gently (just until hot, not smoking).
  2. In a bowl, combine spicy red pepper powder, coarse red pepper powder, sugar, Miwon, minced garlic, and kanari fish sauce in the specified amounts, and mix roughly.
  3. Pour the warmed oil over the seasoning mixture and stir evenly to create a fragrant oil seasoning paste.
  4. Cut the green onions into 6 cm lengths. Trim the tough base of the napa cabbage, then slice it diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Place the prepared cabbage and green onions in a bowl. Gradually add the seasoning paste, tossing gently to coat without bruising the vegetables.
  1. Warm the cooking oil in a pan.
  2. Pour the hot oil over red pepper powder, fish sauce, garlic, and other seasoning ingredients to make the seasoning paste.
  3. Cut the cabbage and green onions into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Gradually add the seasoning paste to the vegetables and toss gently.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The green joints of the green onion often contain dirt inside, so it's best to remove that part and set it aside for stock.
  • Since the cabbage is not salted before mixing, its crunchy texture remains intact, making it an excellent accompaniment to meat dishes.
  • This seasoning paste works not only with firm vegetables like scallions or green onions, but also with fruits like apples and pears to make a fruit geotjeori (fruit kimchi).
