About Dongchimi

Hyosun identifies this quick preparation as the established Korean summer style of dongchimi. It uses cut Korean radish and blended aromatics, with extra radish selected instead of optional napa cabbage.

Pear, garlic, ginger and scallion flavour the salty brine, with red chilli providing pepper character. Sugar and onion remain optional. Fermentation develops the tanginess and sweetness described by the author.

Slender radish pieces sit in a plentiful broth thickened lightly with a glutinous-rice paste. This is the named summer rendition, distinct from the whole-radish winter preparation discussed in the source.
