Cabbage Kimchi Making and Summer Noodles with the Dooreh Cooperative
Hello, this is Soilsoheng!
We participated in a cabbage kimchi-making experience at the wonderful Dooreh Cooperative's Onggi-jonggi village gathering (on the 13th).
Cabbage Kimchi Making Experience: An Easy Recipe for Beginners
Ingredients from the Cham Joeun Dooreh Cooperative Gyeyang Branch:
Cabbage Kimchi Ingredients:
Cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, onion, red pepper powder, salted shrimp, fish sauce, apple juice, coarse salt, sesame seeds
Lots of savory sesame seeds!
We cut the cabbage into bite-sized pieces, pickled it in salt, and prepared the seasoning in advance.
Once the cabbage is properly pickled, rinse it in water and drain it using a strainer.
Add the seasoning (apple juice, fish sauce, salt, green onions, onions, ginger syrup, etc.) to the cabbage and mix well. Season with salt and sprinkle with sesame seeds to finish.
Especially for me, who loves sesame seeds so much, they poured in a whole container of sesame seeds! Such a generous and kind heart! ^
While the cabbage was pickling, we prepared soybean noodle soup (kongguksu) and young radish kimchi noodles (yeolmu guksu) for lunch.
We boiled two packages of Dooreh Cooperative's ingredients - wheat and whole wheat noodles - together in one pot.
We rinsed the noodles in ice water to make them chewy and drained them well. ^
We poured soybean soup over the prepared noodles, sprinkled cucumber and sesame seeds, and finished the soybean noodle soup. It's so easy! ^~
We poured Dooreh Cooperative's Dongchimi cold noodle broth and topped it with young radish kimchi, and the refreshing young radish kimchi noodles were complete! ^~
Today's lunch is plentiful!
It seems like we're more interested in the food than the kimchi making itself! ^ㅋ
We ate two kinds of cold noodles at once until we were full.

Lunch: Soybean Noodle Soup & Young Radish Kimchi Noodles
August 13, 2025
We divided an appropriate amount according to the number of members present today and took it home. We weighed it, shared it nicely, laughed, and were happy! ^~
It's been a while since we gathered at the Cham Joeun Dooreh Cooperative office, and it was a happy time making cabbage kimchi and eating delicious summer delicacies like young radish kimchi and soybean noodle soup together!
Above all, the young radish kimchi from the cooperative's ingredients tasted like Mom's cooking, so I should buy it next time.
Dooreh Cooperative's ingredients in August:
Crisp and fresh pesticide-free cabbage, rich and pure soybean broth for the soybean noodle soup, and Dongchimi cold noodle broth made with Korean radish water kimchi - it was refreshing and clean.
For lunch, we had 100% Korean wheat noodles - wheat noodles and whole wheat noodles with chewy noodles that were healthy.
The process wasn't too difficult, and it was an easy recipe that even beginners could follow! I successfully made cabbage kimchi for the first time! ^ It tastes better than I thought, especially when it's fermented.

Dooreh Cooperative also has a milk carton collection box. They are properly separating paper packs and sterilized packs.
We all need to participate.
Paper packs and sterilized packs should be:
Unfolded
Washed
Dried
Separated
Not mixed
And properly sorted and disposed of! ^ We all need to practice carbon neutrality. Prevent forest destruction, reduce greenhouse gases, and help with resource circulation.
