Yeolmu Kimchi Recipe
Lucky Dad and Haesael Ajumma (mom) love kimchi more than any other side dish, so we enjoy it often.
We often make Yeolmu Kimchi in the summer. When we do, we also make bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables and meat) and Yeolmu Bibim Guksu (spicy mixed noodles with young radish kimchi). It's great to have so many ways to enjoy it.
The Yeolmu Kimchi we received as a gift ran out, and I was just thinking about making some when I saw tender young radishes at the market. So, I bought them and made Yeolmu Kimchi.
Yeolmu Kimchi is easier to make than other kinds of kimchi, so I make it often.
In the summer, I often make Yeolmu Kimchi or Oi Sobagi (cucumber kimchi). I like these kimchi types because they are refreshing and have a cool taste.
First, I grind pear and onion, which add natural sweetness, and grind red chili peppers instead of chili powder for a savory and delicious flavor.
This is my Yeolmu Kimchi recipe, a delicious way to make Yeolmu Kimchi!
1. Yeolmu Kimchi Ingredients
Yeolmu (young radish)
Measurements
1T = 15ml = 15cc
1t = 5ml = 5cc
1C (1 cup) = 200ml = 200cc
900g cleaned Yeolmu, 1/2 Onion

2. Preparing the Yeolmu
Trim the wilted leaves and roots from the Yeolmu.
Wash thoroughly.
Place on a strainer to remove excess water.
3. Salting the Yeolmu
Salt the washed Yeolmu with coarse salt.
It seems to salt quickly because of the hot weather.
It's done when it's flexible like this.
Rinse thoroughly under running water.
Place on a strainer to drain.
4. Preparing the Yeolmu Kimchi Seasoning
Prepare the ingredients for grinding: 1/2 Pear, 1/2 Onion, 1T Salted Shrimp, 5 Red Chili Peppers
Cut them into small pieces.
Remove most of the seeds from the red chili peppers.
Put the ingredients to be ground in a food processor.
Add the salted shrimp.
Grind well.
Prepare the other seasonings: 3T Fish Sauce, 2T Plum Syrup, 2T Minced Garlic, 1/3t Minced Ginger, 1/2 cup Sweet Rice Flour Paste
5. Making the Yeolmu Kimchi
In a bowl for mixing the kimchi, add the Yeolmu Kimchi seasoning and mix well.
Add the Yeolmu and shredded onion.
Mix everything together, and the delicious Yeolmu Kimchi is complete!
Put it in a container and let it sit for half a day or a day before eating. Then you'll have delicious Yeolmu Kimchi.
If you see some small bubbles, it means it's fermenting nicely.
That's how you make Yeolmu Kimchi!
6. Yeolmu Kimchi Complete
I made Yeolmu Kimchi easily, and after a day, it was slightly fermented, crunchy, and delicious.
My daughter unexpectedly likes Yeolmu Bibimbap, so I want to make it for her.
I usually make a small amount, but it shrank so much that I should make two bunches next time.
If you make Yeolmu Kimchi easily with this recipe, you can enjoy a refreshing and clean taste.
Yesterday, Lucky Dad and I went for a long drive.
We ate out and went to a cafe, but as the weather got a bit cooler, my allergies flared up so badly that I had a day of sneezing, runny nose, and tears.
It's raining heavily now.
Have a healthy and happy day!
