About this dish

Raw soybean leaves go straight into the brine, neither salted nor blanched, and their green, beany aroma comes through intact.

Pear, garlic and ginger are blended and strained through cloth so that only the juice is used. Without that step, pulp ends up floating in the liquid and stuck between the leaves.

Tips

Straining the blended aromatics through a cloth is key to keeping the kimchi broth clear and clean.
To enjoy the fresh green aroma of soybean leaves, use fresh raw leaves without pre-salting or boiling.
