Chonggak Kimchi, affectionately known as 'ponytail kimchi', is a delightful variety of kimchi that features young, small white radishes with long, leafy greens resembling ponytails.
This type of kimchi is celebrated for its crisp texture and refreshing taste, with the radishes often being firmer and crunchier than larger varieties. The greens add a soft contrast to the crunchy radish, creating a harmonious blend of textures.
The name is playful reference to the 'bachelor' radish, which is what 'chonggak' translates to in Korean. The name is a nod to the traditional ponytail hairstyle worn by young bachelors in Korea. This kimchi is often enjoyed whole, allowing for the full experience of its crunchy and smooth textures with each bite.
Premium Kimchi - Jongga 500 gr.: Traditional Korean cut cabbage kimchi, known as baechu kimchi, is a quintessential side dish in Korean cuisine. This vibrant and tangy condiment is made by fermenting napa cabbage, which is first salted and then seasoned with a spicy paste of chilli flakes, garlic, ginger, and often a variety of salted seafood to enhance the flavour. The fermentation process not only preserves the cabbage but also promotes the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria, making kimchi a probiotic-rich food. It’s celebrated for its health benefits, including high levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
The preparation of kimchi is steeped in tradition, with many families passing down recipes through generations. Each batch of kimchi is unique, reflecting the regional tastes and personal preferences of the maker. In Korea, the making of kimchi is a communal event known as kimjang, where friends and family gather to prepare large quantities of kimchi to last through the winter months. This cultural practice embodies the spirit of sharing and cooperation, and the resulting kimchi is enjoyed in countless dishes, from stews and soups to pancakes and stir-fries. The depth of flavour kimchi adds to meals is unparalleled, making it a beloved staple in Korean households.
