Vegetable Kimchi

This vibrant vegetable kimchi is a versatile, dairy-free ferment that brings a punch of bold, savoury flavour to any meal. Using a base of crunchy seasonal vegetables such as radishes, carrots or asparagus, this recipe transforms simple ingredients into a probiotic-rich condiment. The combination of pungent garlic, ginger and the characteristic heat of gochugaru creates a complex profile that balances spice with a refreshing crunch.

Perfect as a side dish for grilled meats or a zingy topper for grain bowls, this homemade kimchi is incredibly simple to prepare. While it tastes delicious when freshly made, allowing it to ferment at room temperature for a couple of days develops that classic tangy depth. It is an excellent way to preserve a seasonal harvest and keep your fridge stocked with healthy, flavourful greens.

Ingredients for Vegetable Kimchi

  • 900g crunchy vegetables (such as radishes, asparagus, carrots, cucumbers, beets, or turnips), cut into 3/4" pieces

  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 10 spring onions, cut on a diagonal into 1" pieces

  • 50g gochugaru (coarse Korean red pepper powder) or 4 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, finely ground

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic

  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled ginger

How to make Vegetable Kimchi

In a large bowl, toss together vegetables, salt, and sugar. Let sit at room temperature 1–3 hours for juices to release. Add spring onions, gochugaru, garlic, fish sauce, and ginger; toss to coat.

Divide kimchi between two 1-qt. jars, distributing liquid evenly and leaving 1" headspace.

Eat immediately or let sit on countertop 2 days to allow fermentation to begin before refrigerating. Flavours will deepen over time.

Kimchi can be made 2 months in advance. Open occasionally to release gases.
