Yeolmu kimchi with a refreshing and spicy seasoning made by blending cold rice and pear, featuring yeolmu that has been brined in salt water to remove grassy notes and soften it gently.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When washing or tossing the yeolmu, handle it gently without force to prevent grassy odors.
  • Using the water-brining method to salt the yeolmu reduces damage and ensures even salting.
  • Using blended cold rice instead of flour paste enhances the cool, refreshing taste as the kimchi ferments.
  • Korean prickly ash powder can be polarizing depending on the region, so if you're trying it for the first time, add only a small amount or omit it.

Recommended for

  • Those who have failed at making yeolmu kimchi due to grassy odors.
  • Those who find making flour paste or glutinous rice paste separately cumbersome.
  • Those who want a traditional Gyeongsang-style yeolmu kimchi that becomes cooler and more pungent as it ferments.
