Chonggak Kimchi

Chonggak Kimchi or ponytail kimchi is kimchi made with baby radish.


The first time I learnt about chonggak kimchi was from Maangchi's Youtube channel.

Over here young radish is not available and even if it were, I won't bother because it is so tedious.

When I watched these two videos, the mixing process made my mouth water ..... hah..hah..hah...



I was curious about chonggak kimchi and when I saw it on the supermarket shelves, I grabbed a packet.


When I tried it, ooohhh... they were very tasty!


The ingredients appear quite clean maybe except for the artificial sweetener and fructose. But those would have been digested by the microbes.

The only downside is the packaging which is foil (aluminum) and acid + aluminum is not a good combo >.<


So I should not eat this too often. I transferred the contents into a glass container.

Eat this with rice and pork belly and I am in heaven!


Well, maybe I could use the kimchi paste recipe and make with regular radish.


This was my Sunday lunch. Loved it!

    I would like to try this ponytail kimchi but it looks quite hard and my teeth are weak
    Are they hard or just crunchy?
    Have a good week ahead 🌞☀️ 🌺🌹
