Green Onion Kimchi

May 6, 2015 by Holly Ford 18 Comments

Green Onion Kimchi

One of my favorite kimchi in spring days has to be the green onion kimchi. Yes, you can make kimchi with green onions (aka scallions). This green onion kimchi is called Pa-kimchi (파김치) in Korea.

For some reason cabbage kimchi is not as tasty as it should be for me during warm season, mainly because cabbages taste better in cold weather.

Koreans look for different vegetables to make kimchi with during spring and summer. Cucumber kimchi, bean sprout kimchi, and perilla leaf kimchi are some of the few great choices among them.

Green Onion Kimchi

I planted some green onion seeds in my backyard in early spring, and before I knew it, I was able to harvest the tender petite green onion which is perfect to make kimchi with.

I would recommend to look for skinny green onions rather than the gigantic thick ones for this recipe. Petite green onions are tender and yield sweeter after taste.

So here it is…. the tutorial! Tada~~

Green Onion Kimchee, 파김치

Clean and trim your green onion and place in a baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoon of anchovy sauce over white part of onions, and toss to coat. Let them sit while you are getting the rest of the ingredients ready.

Mix 1 tablespoon sweet rice flour (mochiko) with some water and let it cook until thicken. This is the rice glue.

In a bowl mix Korean chili flakes, sugar, garlic, ginger, the remaining anchovy sauce, and the rice glue.

tutorial-4

Spread the chili paste onto green onion all over with your fingers, turning and tossing.

Take 3-4 green onions and fold, wrap with the green parts to make a bundle and to secure.

Place in a airtight container and let them ferment in a room temperature for 1-2 days, then store in the refrigerator for another 3-4 days before you serve.

A few strips of green onion kimchi is screaming for a bowl of rice…!

Green onions are cheap, available everywhere, and they are good for you. So why not make some into kimchi to impress someone who is a Korean food lover?

Green Onion Kimchi

But…. I have to tell you that green onion kimchi is quite potent once fermented. As with other onions, too much consumption in one seating can make your breath unpleasant afterward. I thought I better let you know so that you can prepare yourself accordingly in case you are serving this kimchi to your date.

I am so thoughtful, aren’t I? ^ -^

Enjoy!

      Yes, you can chop the green onion into smaller pieces. Rice glue is boiled rice flour in water. You can substitute with cooked plain white rice. Just puree 2 tablespoons of cooked rice with 1/2 cup of water until very smooth.

    By “Anchovy Sauce”, do you mean fish sauce? This looks great and I must try it!

    Can you recommend a vegan alternative to the anchovy sauce?

      Try Korean soy sauce for soup. You can find more information about this sauce in my “Korean Pantry” tab on the navigation bar above.

    Question: When I make this I let the onions ferment at room temperature for several weeks, then store it in the fridge pretty much forever. Is this just me being lazy/extreme or is this sort of thing done in Korea? Thanks!

      several weeks sounds way too long. Green onion doesn’t need to ferment in the room temperature that long. Just a couple of days and then store in the fridge until they are eaten all.

    Hi there! Do you– or does anyone else here– have any instructions on how I’d need to adjust the recipe if I were bottling/preserving it?? (as in mason jars?).

    When I make kimchi, I usually buy about 4-5 lbs. worth of veggies and put it in jars that I give to my friends/family (because it can be a few days/weeks before I see them to pass it off).

    Practically every recipe I’ve seen recommends tying the stalks together, and letting it ferment at room temp…
