Namul (NAHmool) in banchan speak typically refers to vegetable matter made in more of a fresh (not necessarily raw, but as opposed to pickled or preserved) preparation, and often using leafy greens and sprouts. There are several ways to season namul. This particular seasoning is pretty mild, likely familiar to those who have eaten some Korean food, and suitable for making bibim bap.Certain veg take to this preparation better than others - spinach, bok choy, soy bean sprouts, mung bean sprouts, even dandelion greens and chrysanthemum leaves are all traditional. Though they fall in the category of leafy greens, I wouldn't use dark leafy greens such as kale, collard, beet or turnip greens - too tough and chewy.Another thing to keep in mind is the volume of the vegetables will reduce from a third to a half after the blanching and squeezing is done (more with spinach). You can use the same water to blanch all the vegetables you're going to make. Just have a colander and some tongs ready to fish out one batch before putting in another.These seasoning measurements are for roughly 2 cups of blanched vegetables that have been squeezed of the excess liquid and cut into bite sized pieces. Sprouts don't usually need cutting.P.S. The zucchini in this pic was made bokkeum (stir fry) style. I'll share that recipe another day.

【 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 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

Yum! can't wait to taste it :hungry

This recipe is for homemade Korean Kimchi. Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from salted and fermented vegetables such as napa cabbage seasoned with gochugaru or Korean chili powder, spring onions, garlic, fish sauce, and more. It is a staple in Korean cuisine and has been well-received by many nationalities.Recipe by: HomebasedChefVideo: youtu.be/Rd2GwCmkQeg

I . LOVE . KIMCHI it’s so basic in the Korean culture and it’s delicious, I made some myself , it takes some time but it’s so worth it .... want kimchi try this out 🥬

When kimchi was not available at supermarkets (about 25 years ago) I was taught how to make these pickles by a Japanese-Korean friend. Using juicy winter daikon radish, I could make tasty kkakduki.Compared to Japanese chili, Korean chili is sweeter. Usually kkakduki is made with finely powdered chili. You can use it for making hot pots or other dishes, so freeze it until needed. Recipe by kebeibiko

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

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

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.
