Servings:
6 cups scallion-apple kimchi
Ingredients
  • 1 pound green onions, trimmed and cut into thirds (7 cups trimmed scallions)
  • 8 ounces daikon radish, julienned (2 cups julienned daikon)
  • 1 pound red apples—peeled, cored and quartered (2 medium apples)
  • 1 garlic head, peeled and cloves separated
  • 3-inch piece ginger
  • ½ cup gochujang
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons salted fermented shrimp (saeujeot)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the green onions and daikon, and set aside. In the bowl of a food processor, add the remaining ingredients and purée to a paste. Wearing gloves, add the paste to the green onions and gently massage into the greens, gently crushing them to help release their juices.
  2. Place the mixture in a 1-gallon fermentation glass jar, pressing the contents down and eliminating any air pockets. Cover with cheesecloth and store in a cool, dark place for 4 days, occasionally removing the cheesecloth to pack down and submerge the contents of the jar in its own liquid. After 4 days, affix tight-fitting lid and store in the fridge for a minimum of 1 week and up to a few months.
