Switching out the cucumber for apples makes this kimchi sweet AND a little bit spicy. Give it a try, I promise it’s so simple to make 🍎 Ingredients: *4 large fuji apples (if using cucumbers, I use 10 Persian cucumbers) *1/2 cup course salt *1/4 cup gochugaru – Korean chili flakes (here’s an option from Amazon) *1/2 white or red onion, sliced *5-6 green onion, diced *2 tbsp minced garlic *2 tbsp fish sauce *2 tbsp agave nectar or sugar *2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds Instructions: *Slice apples (or cucumbers) into thin slices. Cover in course salt and add water. Let sit for 10 minutes minimum. Rinse thoroughly, drain, and pat dry. *In a bowl, add green onion, regular onion, gochugaru, garlic, fish sauce, agave, and sesame seeds. Mix and set aside. *Add the chili paste to the sliced apples (or cucumbers) and mix gently until all surfaces of the fruit is covered in the paste. *Store in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. #kimchi #kimchirecipe #applekimchi #koreanfood
