Geotjeori is a type of fresh kimchi that’s not fermented, unlike traditional kimchi. It’s a quick and easy dish that’s perfect for those who want to enjoy the fresh, crisp taste of kimchi without the long wait.   

Ingredients:

• Napa cabbage (Baechu)   
• Salt   
• Gochugaru (Korean chili powder)   
• Garlic, minced   
• Ginger, minced   
• Fish sauce   
• Sugar   

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cabbage: Cut the napa cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Salt the cabbage and let it sit for about 30 minutes to soften. Rinse the salted cabbage and squeeze out excess water.   
2. Make the seasoning paste: In a bowl, mix gochugaru, minced garlic, minced ginger, fish sauce, and sugar.
3. Mix the cabbage and seasoning: Add the seasoning paste to the prepared cabbage and mix well.
4. Serve: Serve the geotjeori immediately.   

Tips:

• Adjust the spice level: Add more or less gochugaru to your preference.
• Other vegetables: You can add other vegetables like radish or cucumber to your geotjeori.   
• Storage: While geotjeori is best enjoyed fresh, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
