Geotjeori

Geotjeori is a fresh variety of kimchi. Just like classic kimchi, it is usually prepared with napa cabbage (baechu), but unlike the more popular version, geotjeori is not fermented. It is typically made with tender and salted cabbage leaves or other vegetables, which are coated in an aromatic paste usually consisting of chili flakes, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, or (occasionally) anchovy sauce. The crispy texture and refreshing flavor of geotjeori perfectly complement hearty soups and stews, but it can also be served with various other dishes. Geotjeori is best enjoyed freshly made and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
