국물 까지 맛있게 즐기는 여름 특급 반찬, '열무 오이김치' 레시피 ​#열무오이김치 #여름김치 #초간단레시피

What it is

Yeolmu oi-kimchi: young summer radish greens and cucumber salted separately, then mixed with a chili, fish-sauce, salted-shrimp, garlic, ginger, and rice seasoning. It is a crisp summer side dish that can be eaten immediately; the vegetables later release a naturally refreshing broth.

Does it work?

Worth making if you want fresh, crunchy kimchi without waiting for fermentation. The recipe is presented as simple, and this video’s Korean commenters mainly respond to its ease and appetizing crunch: “I’m going to make yeolmu oi-kimchi tomorrow.” No commenter reports results after actually making it.

Watch-outs

Handle the salted yeolmu gently when rinsing and mixing, as rough handling can bruise it and produce a grassy smell. The cucumber and yeolmu require different salting times—30 minutes and one hour—and the recipe contains anchovy fish sauce and salted shrimp, so it is unsuitable for vegetarians and people avoiding seafood.
