A refreshing take on the famous kimchi Since everyone is heading towards kimchi-ing (yes, its a verb now) not-so-ordinary ingredients, i thought id jump on the bandwagon and take on the challenge. Inspired by a chef from nyc who incorporated watermelon flesh into this traditional korean side dish, ive combined this unlikely pairing to create a delicious alternative to go with any korean meal. Curing this juicy red fruit with salt, leeks, garlic, gochugaru (korean chili pepper flakes), honey as well as carrots, for that additional crunch, results in a savory, sweet and spicy mix that wouldnt be out of place in a traditional banchan spread. I hope you enjoy eating this, and feel inspired to make your own kimchi creation
