Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always strain both the chili powder water and all seasoning ingredients through a cheesecloth or fine sieve to keep the broth clear and free of cloudiness.
  • Adding soda gives the kimchi a refreshing carbonation and crispness that develops during fermentation, enhancing the overall cool, lively taste.
  • Let the kimchi ferment at room temperature for 1–2 days until it develops a tangy, balanced aroma, then transfer to the refrigerator for chilled storage.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a properly made water kimchi with a transparent broth and a clean, smooth mouthfeel without heaviness.
  • People looking for a zesty, carbonated broth to pair with rich meat dishes or roasted sweet potatoes.
  • Home cooks who want to make a satisfying kimchi using albaegi cabbage with shorter soaking and fermentation times.
