Kimchi Ingredients- 5 large scallions
- 3 Tbsp fish sauce (for umami)
- 3 Tbsp red pepper flakes (for spice)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic (for aroma)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your fresh scallions. For this kimchi, choose scallions that are plump and have a good amount of white part, as this will be the focus of the dish.
Step 2
Cut the prepared scallions into manageable pieces, about 2-3 cm in length. This size is easy to handle and eat.
Step 3
Place the cut scallions in cold water for a short soak. This step helps to mellow out any harsh pungency and enhance their crispiness.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious kimchi seasoning. In a bowl, combine the fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic. Mix them well until evenly distributed. The fish sauce adds depth of flavor, while the chili flakes and garlic provide a pleasant spicy kick and aroma.
Step 5
Remove the scallions from the cold water and drain them thoroughly. You can use a colander or gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 6
Add the drained scallions to the prepared seasoning. Gently toss and mix them until every piece of scallion is well-coated with the flavorful sauce. Your delicious scallion kimchi is now ready to enjoy!
