Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lb Fuji apples Honeycrisp also work well.
  • 1/2 each yellow onion
  • 4 each green onions
  • 1/2 Tbsp Korean Solar Sea Salt (Cheonilyeom)
  • 2.5 Tbsp Korean chili powder (Gochugaru)
  • 1 Tbsp Anchovy sauce or fish sauce
  • 1 Tbsp garlic chopped
  • 0.25 tsp ginger grated or chopped fine
  • 1 tsp green plum syrup (maesil cheong) or sprinkle little bit of sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash, core and cut apples into bite size pieces. I usually cut into quarters then into smaller pieces. No need to peel if using thin skin and organic apples. See picture.
  2. Cut onions into 3/4 inch cubes. Cut green onions into 1.5 inch length pieces.
  3. Chop garlic and ginger or grate ginger.
  4. In a large bowl, add apples, onions and green onions. Then sprinkle Korean solar sea salt (Cheonilyeom) and toss.
  5. Sprinkle red chili powder (gochugaru) to apples and onions, toss again.
  6. Add garlic, ginger, fish sauce and plum syrup the gently mix everything.
  7. That's it! Eat it right away or refrigerate and enjoy over the next few days as it gets ripened.

Notes

  • Because this is a very light tasting kimchi, it will go well with traditional Korean food as well as more fusiony food like for Thanksgiving dinner! I'm writing this in the week of Thanksgiving and I was thinking how great it will go with Turkey, Roast Chicken and even Roast Beef! Try it and let me know.
  • Storage - as I mentioned above, refrigerate right away and I would try to consume it within a week to 10 days.
  • Adjust Plum Syrup based on how sweet your apples are or how you like things sweet or not. The only thing to watch out for making apple kimchi is the sweetness. I used very sweet Fuji apples in one batch and also added like 1.5 tsp plum syrup and I thought it was a little too sweet when I tasted it fresh. I used Honeycrisp apples in a different batch and added 1 tsp plum syrup and that was just perfect.
