This is a quick version of buchu kimchi that uses more spice and peppers. I also have another version of buchu kimchi that takes a bit longer to make.
Recipe Ingredients:
2 bunches of Korean chives (buchu 부추)
2 green hot peppers
1 red pepper
l cup of hot pepper powder (gochugaru 고추가루)
1 cup of water
2/3 cup of clear fish sauce (aekjeot 액젓)
1 tbsp ginger root, grated
2 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp roasted sesame seed (kaesogum 깨소금)
1 tsp sugar
Recipe Steps:
Buy chives that have narrow leaves, and are not too long – this being traditional type. Wash carefully in a bucket of water, rinse and drain.
Cut peppers in half; remove the seeds, and cut into narrow strips.
Mix hot pepper powder with 1 cup of water, then add fish sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds – mix well.
Mix everything together in a bowl -- chives, peppers and sauce, tossing lightly. You can eat this fresh or store in the room temperature for a day and refrigerate to keep it fresh.
