Recipe for Cucumber & Chive Kimchi
Ingredients
For 6-8 servings
- 2 lb cucumbers, unpeeled
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp Korean chili pepper flakes
- 2 tsp anchovy sauce
- 1½ tsp sugar
- 4 green onions, green part only, cut into thin diagonal slivers
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced onion
Step by step
step 1
Prepare the cucumbers: Halve the cucumbers lengthwise, then cut them into ¼-inch diagonal slices. In a medium bowl, mix the cucumbers with salt until well combined. Set aside for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cucumbers sweat and glisten. They will lose some firmness but should still have a little crunch.
step 2
Place the cucumbers in a colander and rinse, then pat them dry. In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers with the chili pepper flakes, anchovy sauce, and sugar and set aside for 10 minutes to let the flavors combine.
step 3
Add the chives and onion, and toss to combine.
step 4
Eat immediately, or refrigerate and consume within 2 to 3 days.
