This Man's Cook's Old Kimchi Salad

A refreshing side dish that balances the excessive sourness of washed old kimchi with fragrant perilla leaves, creating a crisp and savory taste.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Before mixing, squeeze the old kimchi as thoroughly as possible by hand—this ensures no excess moisture remains, preserving its crisp texture over time.
  • Always add sugar first and mix vigorously; this allows sweetness to penetrate deep into the kimchi’s structure, naturally neutralizing strong acidity.
  • Avoid using the green leafy parts of scallions, as they can introduce bitterness due to their high juice content—only use the white parts, finely minced.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to creatively and cleanly use up stubborn old kimchi lingering in the back of their refrigerator.
  • People seeking a crisp, refreshing side dish alternative to greasy stir-fried or steamed kimchi recipes.
  • Fans of a clean, harmonious balance between the subtle fragrance of perilla leaves and the rich, nutty depth of sesame oil.
