This Man's Cook Summer Dongchimi

A refreshing summer dongchimi with floating ice cubes, ready in just two days using a secret broth bag—no need to salt radish or boil glutinous rice paste.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Since radish is not salted beforehand, it must be sliced very thinly and small to ensure seasoning penetrates quickly.
  • Instead of using fermented rice water, sugar acts as food for beneficial bacteria. Combining it with New Sugar helps maintain the dish’s clean sweetness and refreshing quality.
  • Adding a small amount of soju prevents the formation of a white film (yeast layer) on the surface of the broth, keeping it clear throughout storage.
  • To float ice cubes, freeze a portion of the dongchimi broth in a plastic bag for 3–4 hours, then slightly crush and place on top before serving.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make dongchimi simply without the complicated steps of salting radish or boiling glutinous rice paste.
  • People exhausted by summer heat seeking a tangy, sweet, and refreshingly cool icy broth.
