Cooking tips
- Using soda instead of water for dilution maintains a sharp refreshment and preservation quality without needing to boil the brine or add soju as a preservative.
- Avoid fruit-flavored vinegars like lemon or apple-infused varieties—they may clash with the onion’s natural aroma; stick to regular brewed vinegar or brown rice vinegar.
- For better flavor, avoid mild chilies like crisp chilies or ogo chilies, which lack the characteristic sharpness; use green chili peppers or fresh bird’s eye chilies for a more vibrant taste.
Recommended for
- Those who want the fastest and easiest way to make pickles without boiling and cooling soy sauce brine.
- People looking for a refreshing, tangy, and crunchy pickle to serve alongside fatty grilled meats like pork belly or ribs.
