Ingredients
- 450 g onion (15.9 ounces), chopped

Instructions
- Separate the chopped onions and place them in a sterilized glass jar. (Add some sliced chilies between layers if you opted to include them.)

- Pour the brine over the onion and close the lid. Leave at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours then refrigerate. It should be ready to eat in 1 to 2 days.
- Serve with your favorite main meal (e.g. Bindaetteok or Korean BBQ). It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for at least one month.
