Recipe
Cooking tips
- The crisp, crunchy texture is key to cucumber kimchi, so avoid soaking it too long—don’t let it become as soft as napa cabbage.
- Avoid pressing hard when mixing, as excessive force may release raw vegetable odors; instead, gently rub the sauce onto the cucumbers with your fingertips.
- We highly recommend enjoying it fresh right after mixing, rather than cooking it.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a different crunchy side dish beyond daily napa cabbage or radish kimchi.
- People who want to transform easily available supermarket cucumbers into a Korean-style savory rice companion.
