Hello Maangchi!! I’ve made this several times and absolutely LOVE it as do my friends and family! However, now there is only me and I want to make a much smaller version. I’m not sure how to get the ratio correct from radish to ingredients – salt, sugar, gochugaru, green onion, garlic, ginger and fish sauce. I use vegan fish sauce, by the way. I’m not good at conversions and wanted to know if you could maybe make a video of using a much smaller radish/daikon, etc? Or maybe someone here can help me? Thank you so much!!
My home-made Kkakdugi…delicious delicious..

Hi Maangchi, just wondering if there is anything I can do with the leftover salt+sugar+radish juice brine. Can I use it to brine something else? Seems like a waste to throw it out!
Brine meat with it. Seriously.
Hello
Can I use this recipe with regular cabbage?
I’ve made kkakdugi twice now, using jicama, instead of joseonmu or daikon. It’s turned out very good.

Would there be a way to make this with more juice? I’m going to separate it into several jars for gifts, and I want to be sure there’s enough liquid in each jar to cover the radish. Thank you! =)
This is so easy and really yummy. A great snack.
Hello Maangchi! I want to make this recipe based on your book. Should I rinse it as you directed here?
Also can I add or substitute salty shrimp (Saeu-jeot) for the fish sauce? I know it’s saltier so I may mix the two a little. I have some leftover shrimp from kimchi and want to use it up. Thank you!
Hello,
New to the site and to making Korean food myself (but a big fan). This is the first recipe I’ve tried. It is jarred and sitting out to ferment. I noticed however, that when using the recommended amount of fish sauce it smelled fishier when jarring than that which I buy at the Korean grocer. Will this attenuate a bit with fermentation?
Also, I had Gochugaru powder instead of flakes. I couldn’t find a conversion from flakes-to-powder. I suspect it would be less than 1:1 (based on how hot my son’s Korean cooking is using the powder). Do you recommend differing amounts of powder versus the more course flakes?
Thanks! Happy to have discovered this site. Plan to try many of the recipes now that I have stocked my pantry. Cheers!
Fresh kimchi does generally taste fishier and saltier at the start. But once it has fermented, the flavours mellow out and you can’t taste the individual components. Hope that helps!
Hi Maangchi,
I tried making kkakdugi yesterday but I am not sure if I was successful because I didn’t smell any sourness. I come from a hot and humid country so I am not sure if that is tha cause. Anyway, I kept the kkakdugi in my warm kitchen (about 30C) for 18 hours and have moved it to the fridge for fear of spoilage.
Thanks for the recipe. I enjoy your demonstration a lot.
