Peaceful Landscape

I referenced the Dietary Education Classroom recipe for the cabbage water kimchi I made this time. They provide various recipes, nutritional information, allergy information, and functional benefits information.

Many parents are probably worried about planning meals every day during the kids' summer vacation.

I also tried to plan nutritious meals for my third child, Somi, during her week-long daycare vacation, but I was still concerned about whether I was meeting her nutritional needs.

If you visit the Dietary Education Classroom, you can find recipes with nutritional information, just like the food served in school lunches, making it easier to plan nutritious meals.

Recipes are provided in detail for 1 serving or 100 servings. I reduced it to 10 servings for this recipe. You can adjust as needed.

They also provide recommended meals along with the nutritional information. They suggest that multigrain rice, soybean paste stew with snails, bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef), zucchini stir-fried with salted shrimp, cucumber salad, and assorted wraps go well with it.

I was always amazed at how nutritious the daycare meals looked, but visiting the Dietary Education Classroom showed me how to plan meals with well-balanced nutrition.

Bright Future

Don't forget to check out the various event announcements!

Now, let's prepare some summer side dishes!

1. Slice the cabbage and radish

Amazing Spectacle

Slice the cabbage into 4x4cm pieces. Just think of a size that's easy to scoop up and eat with a spoon.

Slice the radish thinly into 3x3x0.5cm pieces. This makes it easier to eat, especially for children.

Adding both cabbage and radish makes it twice as refreshing and delicious.

2. Slice the green onions and red chili peppers

Slice the green onions into 4cm lengths and dice the red chili peppers for added color.

Valuable Experience

Celery is also added here. Slice it into similar sizes. I didn't have any, so I skipped it.

3. Marinate in anchovy sauce

First, place the sliced cabbage and radish in a bowl. Then, add the anchovy sauce, mix well, and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

4. Make flour paste

First, make the flour paste in a pot.

Dissolve the flour in cold water and heat it until it thickens.

Amazing Spectacle

Let it cool, then season it.

5. Season

Add minced garlic, red pepper powder, salt, and sugar to the cooled flour paste.

Add water and mix well. The broth is now complete.

6. Pour over the prepared ingredients to finish

Pour the broth over the ingredients marinated in anchovy sauce.

Store it in the refrigerator and let it ferment for about 2 days before eating.

I let it sit at room temperature for about a day and then put it in the kimchi refrigerator to enjoy it. It was fresh and delicious.

Adding sliced apples or pears can further aid digestion. When adding celery, include the leaves as well. Water dropwort (minari) can be used as a substitute vegetable.

They tell you all these detailed tips, making it so convenient.

With approximately 20kcal per 100g, it's low in calories, making it suitable for a diet. It is also rich in antioxidants, which can reduce inflammation in the body and promote blood vessel health. Try making summer kimchi at home!

It's the perfect menu for summer home-cooked meals.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
