Not Difficult At All: Oi-sobagi (Stuffed Cucumber Kimchi) Super Easy

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. Recipe by pegupepepe
Cooking Instructions
- 1
"Oi" means cucumber in Korean. Cut each cucumber into thirds. Make a crisscross cut into each one lengthwise, leaving about 1/4 of each piece intact.
- 2
Dissolve the salt in hot water, add water to cool and put in the cucumber. Leave like that for an hour. Turn it over once in a while.
- 3
So let's make the stuffing in the meantime. To start with, let's make the saeujeot (fermented krill) substitute with the ★ ingredients.
- 4
Chop up the ★ ingredients finely, add the fish sauce and sake, leave for about 5 minutes then microwave for 30 seconds. Don't forget to cover with plastic wrap.
- 5
Roughly chop up the green onion, leek and chives. Mix them, the julienned carrot, the combined ingredients from Step 4, ginger, garlic, and the seasonings in a bowl.
- 6
If you like, add lots of garlic.
- 7
Mix everything together. Taste, and add salt or other things if needed.
- 8
Those cucumbers that were resting in brine, if they're too salty rinse them off quickly, and pat dry well...
- 9
Stuff in the stuffing. Sprinkle any that's left over on the cucumber.
- 10
And it's done. Drizzle on a bit of sesame oil when you eat it if you like.

The method is almost the same in this recipe: Raw Oyster Kimchi. Take a look!

Cucumber Kimchi Cucumber Kimchi
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. ;) x -

Instant Cucumber Kimchi using Versatile Korean Flavoring Mix Instant Cucumber Kimchi using Versatile Korean Flavoring Mix
I always make cho gochujang, a versatile Korean flavoring mix, in bulk to use with bibim myun (spicy cold noodles). I rubbed salt into vegetables that I had in the refrigerator and combined it with the cho gochugang to make a Korean style instant pickle type dish.It's an "instant" or quick pickle, so you can eat it as soon as it's mixed, but if you let it rest for a while the flavors will permeate the vegetables and it will become even more delicious. As time passes, moisture will come out of the vegetables and the flavors will become milder. If you are going to eat this right after making it though, 2 tablespoons of cho gochujang is very spicy!! So please adjust accordingly. Recipe by kebeibiko cookpad.japan -
