Recipe for Spring Onion Kimchi

Serving Size: Serves 4


Ingredients:

  • 500g (1.1 lbs) spring onions (also known as green onions or scallions)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Korean fish sauce or 1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce (for a vegetarian version)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
  • 1 tbsp (15g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) water
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30g) rice flour (optional, for thicker paste)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water (if using rice flour)


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Spring Onions:
    • Wash the spring onions thoroughly and trim the roots. Cut them into 3-4 inch (7-10 cm) lengths.
  2. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a bowl, mix the Korean fish sauce (or soy sauce), gochugaru, sugar, water, minced garlic, and minced ginger. If using rice flour, combine it with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water and heat over medium heat until it thickens, then let it cool and add to the marinade.
  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • Add the spring onions and optional Korean radish to the marinade. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated with the spicy paste.
  4. Ferment the Kimchi:
    • Place the kimchi mixture into a clean jar or airtight container. Press down to remove any air bubbles. Leave the container at room temperature for 1-2 days to ferment, then move it to the refrigerator. The kimchi can be eaten immediately but develops a deeper flavor after a few days.



Tips:

  • For a milder kimchi, reduce the amount of gochugaru.
  • Ensure all ingredients are well-coated with the marinade for consistent flavor.

Substitutes:

  • Fish Sauce: Use soy sauce for a vegetarian version.
