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. ;)

Yum! can't wait to taste it :hungry

This is even easier than overnight pickles, maybe.It's kind of difficult to get a hold of saeujeot (salted fermented krill that is usually used to make kimchi) but you can make kimchi easily using familiar, easy to get ingredients. Why not give it a go?Salt, garlic, dried shrimp, dried shredded squid, and chili pepper.By varying the amounts of these ingredients, you can adjust the taste in any way you like.Korean chili pepper is not that spicy hot - it has a sweet fragrance.Adjust the amounts to create the kimchi that's suited to you.

I had this in a restaurant and it was so tasty, I recreated it in my own style!!Adjust the amount of garlic and red chili if you don't like them. Recipe by Swan7724

I added sesame oil to kimchi to give it some extra flavor and fragrance. It was too delicious to eat by itself, so I put it on tofu.My family loves this tofu! You won't be able to stop eating it.The key is to make sure to drain the tofu. I recommend you put the tofu in a bamboo basket and put it in a fridge. You can use regular or soft tofu.

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 produced from the vegetables you've salted is their juice, so use that too in the brine. 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.

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

Cabbage rolls with a Korean twist! Kimchi for the cabbage, and a kimchi jjigae inspired broth for the sauce. These were so good, I did not have any leftovers. Wear food safe gloves when assembling so you don’t stain your hands like I did :,)

Sesame and avocado match very well with kimchi 😄

I wanted to use the bulbs of the green onions in something. In the end I tried making an imitation of a dish that I had seen in a Korean supermarket and came up with this simple kimchi.The bulbs of the green onions that I used are far bigger than those you usually find in a supermarket, they were about the size of mini-onions. If you're using small green onions, then you just need to boil them for 2-3 minutes. I used the Momoya brand kimchi sauce. Recipe by Kourin

I made this so I could enjoy all of my favorite in one dish!The most important point is to use sweet tomatoes, tasty kimchi and good tofu. If your tomato is not sweet enough just add a little sugar. If you chill both the sauce and the tofu well, it'll be perfect. Recipe by Asamato
