Ingredients

  • 1 pound apples ~ 2 large apples
  • ¼ onion sliced lengthwise into ¼-inch wide slivers
  • 1 stalk green onion cut into 2-inch pieces

Seasoning

Garnishes to Serve

Instructions

Prep Vegetables

  • Soak sliced onions in ice cold water to take off some of the bite for a few minutes while you slice apples.
  • Cut apples into quarters, remove the core, and slice into ~⅛-inch wide slices. Using a mandoline makes this much easier.

Make Apple Kimchi

  • Place sliced apples and green onions in a large mixing bowl. Drain ice water from onions and add to the mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle sea salt, gochugaru, fish sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger over the apples and onions. Stir everything to combine. Make sure the apples are evenly and well coated; using your hands to gently massage the seasoning into the slices is highly encouraged, but wear gloves!
  • To eat right away, garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Within the first few hours, the Apple Kimchi will taste like a highly seasoned, spicy salad.
  • Place the Apple Kimchi into a glass container. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and store in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
