Traditional method of pickling chili with perfect saltwater temperature and double boiling, ensuring crispness throughout the year

Ingredients needed 20 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not remove the stem entirely, as excessive moisture can cause the chilies to soften quickly—leave about 2cm of stem intact.
  • Pouring the hot brine immediately after boiling turns the chilies yellowish, while overcooling destroys their crisp texture—maintaining exactly 60 degrees is key.
  • Finished pickled chilies can be stored in the refrigerator and used year-round as a versatile base for kimchi, chopped chili paste, or salad dishes.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make a traditional, all-purpose pickled chili base for various dishes without fail.
  • People seeking a consistently crisp, crunchy texture that lasts even after extended time.
  • Individuals wanting to stock up on a versatile cooking ingredient with just one effort, usable all year round.
