Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Briefly blanching cucumbers in hot salted water helps draw out moisture, preventing them from becoming soggy even after time, keeping them crisp throughout.
  • When filling the cuts, avoid widening the sides too forcefully—gently open the cuts and generously fill without tearing the cucumber.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to perfectly succeed at making refreshing, non-soggy, crunchy cucumber kimchi that boosts appetite in summer.
  • Those who want to make their own clean, seasonal kimchi side dish at home with ease.
