Cooking tips

  • When slicing radish, always cut along the grain—not against it—to preserve its crisp texture.
  • For extra freshness and depth of flavor, mix in fresh clam or cleaned dried pollock filaments into the filling if desired.
  • To prevent overflow as the kimchi ferments, never fill the crock more than 70% full.
  • Covering with nappa cabbage outer leaves and sprinkling sea salt helps block air exposure, preventing softening and off-flavors.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make quick and easy kimchi using salted napa cabbage without going through complicated kimchi-making steps.
  • Those seeking a fail-proof, refreshing, and crunchy napa cabbage kimchi.
