Daikon Radish and Cucumber Mul (Water) Kimchi
- 12 cm Daikon radish
- 1 Cucumber
- 1/4 Apple
- 1 as many (to taste) Red and yellow bell peppers
- 1/2 clove Garlic
- 3 slice Sliced ginger
- 1 tsp Red chili peppers (sliced into rounds)
- 1 tsp Rock salt (or regular salt)
- 350 ml Water
- 1 tsp Joshinko (or mochiko)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Thinly slice the garlic and ginger.
- You can actually cut them however you like, but don't grate them or they will cloud up the brine.
- Put all of the ingredients into a pot and turn on the heat.
- Mix them together well, and when it starts to simmer turn off the heat.
- Once it has cooled, add the garlic and ginger.
- Cut the cucumber and daikon radish into thick slices and lightly apply salt (rock salt).
- Wait 15-20 minutes.
- Save the the juice to use in the brine, as well.
- Peel the apple and slice into 5 mm thick wedges.
- Cut the bell peppers into 1 cm wide strips.
- The fresh aroma of the peppers goes great with this dish.
- Take the vegetables from Step 3, plus the apples, bell peppers, and chili pepper and add to the brine from Step 2, adjusting the amount of salt as needed.
- If it's too salty, add some water.
- Fermenting Transfer to a container and leave at room temperature for about 2 hours to half a day in summer, 2-3 days in spring or fall, or 4-5 days in winter.
- Then, store it in the refrigerator.
- As it ferments, the color of the vegetables will change and it will become thicker and more acidic.
- This is the perfect time for consuming it, but with my family, it's already gone by then.
- Mul kimchi juice The juice, brimming with plant-based lactobacillus, is supposed to be very good for your body.
- It has about 20 times more lactobacillus as nukazuke pickles.
- Using leftovers Tomato mul kimchi using leftover juice
- Quick instant mul kimchi pickles
