This Man's Cook's Old Kimchi and Fish Cake Salad

Cooking tips

  • If you don’t have old kimchi at home, you can use very sour, over-fermented kimchi that has lost its freshness—just rinse it well before using.
  • It’s best to first lightly season the chopped kimchi with sugar and toasted sesame oil to neutralize its intense sourness and off-flavors.
  • Soaking the fish cakes in hot water removes excess additives and oil, resulting in a cleaner taste while enhancing their soft yet chewy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to revive tough, overly sour kimchi or old kimchi into a completely new and delicious style.
  • People who want to replace greasy stir-fried side dishes with something fresh and clean-tasting.
