Dongchimi (Radich Liquid Kimchi)



The liquid kimchi is made a few weeks before they make the stocks of winter kimchi. The liquid part is especially attractive and makes anyone feel refreshed. It goes well with the Korean rice breads, or with Korean wines. Alsi it can make an excellent sauce for noodles.
