Pear and Apple Mul (Water) Kimchi

This mul kimchi is especially tasty in the hot summer, but my family eats it no matter what season. It's also delicious with ingredients like apples, watermelon (the white part), and Japanese parsley. This is fundamentally a mild kimchi, but when we got some fresh red chili, we added it liberally and enjoyed.This is a mul kimchi with clear brine. If you grate the garlic and ginger they will muddy the brine, so slice them thinly instead. Use the sweeter top part of the daikon radish. This time I used cabbage because that's what I had on hand, but if you use Chinese cabbage you can also use the sweet yellow section near the heart for a delicious result.

This is a recipe using a cloudy white mul kimchi juice. I've been told that traditionally it was made with the leftover water from washing rice. People would use it for cooking rather than waste it. This is my take on a recipe I learned over 20 years ago from someone who used to work at a restaurant in South Korea.The water released from the vegetables you've salted is essentially their juice, so we use that too in the brine, but in this case we won't use it from the eggplant because of its harsh taste. After you've wrung out a good amount of liquid, then use it for pickling. The color of the eggplant will worsen with every day that passes. Sugar is necessary to help the fermentation process, so please be sure to add it. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

In Step 2, don't use salt when you're making the brine. You can adjust the salt content later. Sugar is necessary for helping the fermentation process, so be sure to add it.

I get cravings for this mul kimchi on hot days. Since real pickling and fermentation take a little time, on those days I use some vinegar to enjoy this instant mul kimchi. Since you can enjoy both the kimchi and the juice, using high quality water makes it extra tasty.I had myoga ginger on hand so I used that, but you can add ingredients like pears or apples to make it fruity and extra delicious.Don't throw away the vegetable juice released from the salt - you can use it!Before you pour in the water make sure you properly let the flavor develop.

Eight years ago, I had water kimchi at a sam-gyetang shop. It was refreshing and very tasty I heard that the water used to rinse rice is used...so, through trial and error, I arrived at this recipe.These days, I made it about 3 times a week .Be sure to use thick rice rinsing water. Drink up the vitamins and minerals from the rice rinsing water.Since this dish also contains lots of naturally formed lactic acid, it also tonifies your gut. Recipe by Haasan aibon

I wanted to make some lycopene-rich tomato mul kimchi, but cut tomatoes get mushy before their lactic acid ferments, and cherry tomatoes don't pickle well... so I came up with this recipe for mul kimchi using leftovers! It turned out to be a great recipe.Since you can do a lot of pickling with already fermented juice, this recipe lets you eat right away and avoid letting the highly nutritious leftover juice go to waste, killing two birds with one stone!

【 youtu.be/3-D2GneKPUs 】Korean cucumber kimchi is an amazing side dish that is easy and fast to make. Cucumber will cool you down to the heart, and you will be addicted to the taste after one bite!

Generally speaking, cucumber kimchi does not hold up texturally as well as Napa cabbage kimchi, and you'll find that it begins to go soggy more quickly. Best to make a smaller batch (you can halve this recipe) if you don't think you can eat it within 2 to 3 weeks because there just aren't as many good uses for overripe cucumber kimchi as with the Napa cabbage kind.A common question:HOW RIPE DOES THE KIMCHI HAVE TO BE BEFORE I REFRIGERATE/EAT IT?You can eat the kimchi whenever you want. Fresh, just after it's been made, all the way up to when it's so incredibly old, ripe and stinky you could choke out a subway system by placing an open jar in one of the vents. It remains safe for human consumption for A VERY LONG TIME.But as to when to refrigerate, just go out once a day every day to taste a piece, and when it gets to the ripeness you like, stick it in the fridge. It'll continue to ripen, but slowly.P.S. Yes, you do see a few pieces of turnip in there. I think I had one or two that needed to be used up on the day I made this batch. ;)

I fell in love with kimchi but always in doubt whether it's halal or not. Found a video by korean cook, maangachi. Her portion is quite big, so i had reduced the measurement coz i just do it for 1 cabbage only

No waste when you make this watermelon punch from a ripe organic watermelon and make a delicious sweet and sour pickle of the rind at the same time, and kimchi. The rind is half the weight of the melon, no need to throw away organic watermelon rinds, no pesticides.#GoldenApron23
