Fresh Cabbage Kimchi (Geotjeori)
Report
Fresh Kimchi (Geotjeori) recipe that's so simple and easy. It's refreshing, light yet so pleasantly flavorful. It's made with just 6 ingredients using fresh red chili pepper which gives it quite a spicy kick while still keeping the flavors bright.

Ingredients
OPTIONAL
- 4.5 cups water if using a brine to pickle
- 2 green onions or 1/2 Korean leek Daepa λν
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp sugar - if needed
Instructions
Prepare Yangnyeom (Seasoning)
- Persimmon - scoop out the flesh of a very ripe fruit. The persimmon should be very soft and mushy.
- Chop fresh garlic and chili pepper by knife or with a chopper.
- After 3 hrs, do a test by bending the white part of the leaves to see if it's ready to be rinsed. Once it's fully pickled, rinse the salted cabbage leaves in water a couple of times and let them drain in a colander for 5 min or so.
- Once the leaves are drained, rip each leaf with your hands into smaller pieces. You can cut it with a knife but traditionally Koreans always rip the leaf by hand for Geotjeori so watch my video and try to rip it if you can. To me it just doesn't feel the same if it's cut by a knife. π
- In a bowl, mix the ripped cabbage leaves then add garlic, red chili, fish sauce, persimmon and mix well until leaves are all evenly coated.
- Now it's ready to eat! As a last optional finish, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds and a swirl of sesame oil to a plated Geotjeori if you'd like.
Notes
- The sodium level in the nutrition facts are totally an estimation as there's no way for me to tell how much of the sodium in the salt is absorbed into the cabbage.
- Please don't try to ferment this Kimchi. It should be consumed in 2-3 days and best to be eaten the same day.
