Water Kimchi Ingredients
- 100g Cabbage
- 120g Radish
- A little Carrot (for color)
- 2 Scallions
- 1/4 Pear
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- A little Ginger Juice (1-2 drops)
- A little Salt (for seasoning)
- 4 Cups Water (approx. 800ml)
- 2/3 Tbsp Plum Extract
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the radish into thin, bite-sized pieces, about 2-3cm square. Cut the cabbage to a similar size as the radish. Thinly julienne the carrot and cut the scallions into 2-3cm lengths. Peel the pear, grate it, and use only the juice. (If you have preparation photos, this is a good place to insert them.)
Step 2
Place the sliced radish in a bowl and sprinkle a little salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to lightly salt. After 10 minutes, add the sliced cabbage and gently mix with the radish. Set aside briefly. In another bowl, pour 4 cups of water. To infuse the garlic flavor, place the minced garlic in a small mesh bag or cheesecloth and squeeze it in the water until the aroma is released. Add a couple of drops of ginger juice, pear juice, and plum extract to the water, then mix well to create the kimchi brine. Pour this brine over the salted radish and cabbage and stir to combine. Let it sit for a moment, then taste and adjust the saltiness according to your preference.
Step 3
Transfer the prepared water kimchi to an airtight container. Arrange the julienned carrots and chopped scallions attractively on top. Store in a cool place for 4-5 days to ferment. You will have a delicious and refreshing Cabbage Water Kimchi! Keep refrigerated once fermented.
