  • About

Though it has “kimchi” in the name, this is not the wildly fiery red cabbage you may be thinking of. In fact, this pickle has a delicate, summery flavor, which means you can also consume the brine as a drink or cold soup. Efficient, huh? Though this is not the longest-lasting dish, it’s easy and quick, so you can make it as often as you like. Some say it’s even good for hangovers.
