Steps

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

  1. Cut the turnip into thin square slices (nabak shape) of 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.3 cm.
  2. Mix the fine gochugaru, coarse gochugaru, minced garlic, salt, and yogurt to make the seasoning.
  3. Slice the thin scallions into 0.2 cm pieces.
  4. Toss the turnip with the seasoning.
  5. Refrigerate the seasoned turnip for about a day to mature.
  6. Serve the matured turnip kimchi topped with the thin scallions as garnish.
💡 TipPairing turnip, known as a fruit radish, with the fresh taste of plain yogurt reduced the use of salt.
