Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

  1. Trim the napa cabbage and lightly salt it.
  2. Make a broth with the dried anchovies and dried shiitake mushrooms.
  3. Blend the bell pepper and squeeze out the juice to prepare.
  4. Add the bell pepper juice and the julienned radish, water dropwort, and onion to the cooled broth to make the low-sodium seasoning.
  5. Julienne the pear, jujubes, chestnuts, and carrot last and mix them in.
  6. Mix step 5 into the low-sodium seasoning and spread it between the layers of the salted cabbage.
💡 TipSeasoning with bell pepper juice reduced the amount of salted fermented seafood.
