    Follow along as Eric Kim, a food writer and contributor to NYT Cooking, shows us how to “quick kimchi” just about any fruit or vegetable. Now, this isn’t the same kimchi that is fermented over time and most often starts off with cabbage and salt. Instead, Eric shows us how to approximate the flavors of kimchi with this quicker technique that uses some of the same ingredients. Technically these are muchims, which can refer to any number of “seasoned” or “dressed” salads or other preparations.
    To make the cucumber brine martini (5:29), mix a 1:1 ratio of vodka and soju, and add a splash of the cucumber brine. Stir all that with ice and strain. Enjoy!

    I made the smacked cucumber dish today with a single cucumber (reduced the measurements), and it was so good I ate the entire thing in one sitting and licked the bowl clean with my fingers. THANK YOU! I’m thrilled to be able to replicate some of my favorite Korean flavors at home!!

    This is such a great video. I love these types of videos that teach you a whole culinary concept with a technique you can adapt to whatever you want. I particularly like how Eric explains each element of the seasoning and how it is important to Korean cuisine and gives Korean dishes their signature flavors. It really helps me appreciate Korean foods better. And add the personal stories, and I feel like Eric is inviting me to eat with his family. I love how he tells us about his mom using the gloves. I have seen them but now I want to get them to make these quick kimchis like a Korean mama LOL. Also, I am a huge fan of gochugaru. It is my go to red pepper flake, and I’m with him: I wanna see it blow up. Guys seriously you gotta get this stuff. It’s amazing. I would love to see more from Eric, like how to enjoy Korean soups. I remember someone telling me there is a particular way of eating it to make it so much more pleasurable. Yeah. I wannna see more so I can incorporate these techniques into my own cooking!!!!

    I can't believe I'm seeing a bottle of Surig in the US! 😄❤
    It's about 4 to 5 times stronger than regular vinegar (24% acid), that's why it's called "vinegar essence". It's so versatile, but you have to learn how to handle it.
    The smiley spoon is adorable!

    The way we always made the "quick kimchi" cucumber was with this sweet Chinese black vinegar! it gives the veg a bit more color as well and the sweetness is peeeeerfect! Also balsamic would go great too!

    if you smack the cucumber with something heavy before cutting it you get the same result, but no mess and a lot less effort! just give it a few whacks until it starts to crack

      Could have sworn it was spelled:

      Two "P's"?
      Wiki, Websters and/or Oxford Dictionaries... none recognize that word, slaping. Perhaps your auto-correct or brain is/are getting old?
      Perhaps you need to do a little less toking before you're joking and put it down forever indelled in time on such a Global platform called YT comments? 🤗😂🤗
