Now, shall we take a look at the recipe?

First, rub the cucumber with coarse salt,

Please wash it thoroughly and prepare it.

After cutting the cucumber into 6-7cm lengths,

Leave about 1cm at the end and make a cross shape

Make a cut.

After adding 6 tablespoons of salt to 5 cups of water and mixing,

Put the sliced cucumbers in salt water for 2 hours

Pickle it.

Do not throw away the brine used to pickle the cucumbers,

Put the pickled cucumbers in a pot and boil them, then add them to the pot.

Dip it in boiling water once and take it out immediately.

They often say you fry cucumbers... haha

If you do this, the cucumber kimchi won't get soggy.

It's crunchy, so you can enjoy it until the very last bite.

Place the cucumber with the cross shape facing downward to drain the water.

While the water is draining, I'll prepare the filling.

Thinly julienne the radish and carrot, and

Please cut the chives to the same length as well.

Actress Yoon Yoo-sun kept it short at a length of 2cm.

I sliced it into pieces about 4cm long.

You sliced it... haha

Put the radish and shredded carrots in a large bowl, and 6 tablespoons of anchovy fish sauce

1 level tablespoon of coarse salt, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic

Add 2 teaspoons of minced ginger and mix.

Add the chives last and mix lightly.

Seasoned filling between the cross-shaped cucumber slices

Please put in plenty~

How to make kimchi broth:

Add 2-3 pieces of kelp to 500ml of water

Boil for 5-10 minutes, then let it cool.

In 400ml of kelp water

400ml of pear juice (or ground pear juice)

Add 1 tablespoon of red pepper powder and the kimchi broth is complete.

I also put two red chili peppers in the blender.

The color turned out even prettier after I ground it up :)

Finally, put the cucumbers with the filling into the kimchi container,

Pour in the kimchi juice and it's done.

It's really simple, isn't it?

Even though I have tried making and eating cucumber kimchi

This is the first time I've made it in the form of water kimchi.

It looks pretty, but it looks like it would be really delicious.

The harmony of crunchy cucumbers and kimchi broth…

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!

Many people are interested and trying to make it themselves.
