A quick pickle that maximizes crispness by briefly soaking garlic chives in hot brine, then finishing with a non-boiled soy sauce base to be ready in just two days.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The colander must sit securely on the bowl without slipping down, preventing the brine from seeping underneath and keeping the garlic chives crisp throughout.
  • Adding soju to the sauce acts as a powerful preservative, allowing you to skip boiling the sauce and still prevent mold growth for extended storage.
  • Applying hot brine gradually helps maintain crispness from start to finish—a valuable technique for achieving lasting crunch.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a proper side dish kimchi with lasting crispness over time.
  • People who want to quickly pickle without the hassle of separately boiling and cooling the sauce.
  • Individuals looking for a refreshing, sweet-and-sour accompaniment to pair with meat dishes or rich, oily foods.
