How to: Cucumber Kimchi | Deep Spicy Taste, Perfected!

Today, we show you how to make Cucumber Kimchi (오이 소박이) at home. Also known as Oi Sobagi.

This recipe is perfect! It gives you that deep restaurant flavor - the same one you taste at hansik restaurants here in Seoul. All you need is a few key pantry ingredients like garlic, ginger, gochugaru, Korean fish sauce.

Let me breakdown the ratio of ingredients you need. Follow it and you'll be so happy with the taste.

Don't be scared to couple it with a non spicy ramen like sesame ramen (참꺠라면) or nagasaki jjampong (나가사키 잠뽕)

I love the recipe; it’s exactly what I was looking for. As a Korean American who can barely read Korean (I’m working on it), it’s hard to find recipes that taste authentic and delicious that are in english. I’ve watched a lot of Maangchi’s videos, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of her cucumber kimchi recipe. This cucumber kimchi tastes exactly like the stuff you get in korea. Thank you for sharing 😊❤️

Just started planning my garden, looks like I’ll be growing cucumbers this year!

Nice to see you after so long Daniel and Katy!!!

I am out of gochugaru. Looks so darned good, and Dan-yul's obvious pleasure at tasting it has me so curious.

Thanks very much for such clear instructions - I especially like the brining method as opposed to trying to stuff the coarse salt in, only to have to rinse it out later. The brining/rinsing method looks so easy.

TY for another great recipe. Even though we can't see Katie we can appreciate her. Give her a place in each of your vids and I will watch endlessly

[KelLaysho]

Thank you for showing a “SMALL” portion. Your girl here has been struggling. Lol Now I feel more confident with trying to make my favorite banchan. 🙌🏽

I'm making this very recipe right now! I didn't have apple juice so hopefully a bit more oliogodang and a quarter cup of water works. We'll find out soon enough!

[chericovalt]

This video was so informative. I have never seen the hot water salt method. I am going to try Thank you so much!

[pabsconstantine]

I'm glad I found your version so simple and easy to follow now I can make it for my daughter she loves cucumber kimchi
Thank you for sharing

[madmommy]

So, I consider cucumber kimchi as the gateway drug to all other kimchi. Will always be my first love.

오이소바기는 제가 여름에 가장 좋아하는 음식 중 하나입니다. 나는 당신의 조리법을 시도해야합니다. Thank you for sharing…..🥢🇰🇷

[rhythmaddict]

Oh this made me so happy! I love the way the way they are stuffed! I'm making it today!

[TeenaTee]

Nice haircut Danyul! This looks amazing! I’ve started making my own Napa cabbage kimchi so I may graduate to cucumber kimchi soon. Thank you!

[Amerdealer]

This is unrelated, but I watch A LOT of K-drama and I love it when I can recognize and translate what you and Katie say when you speak Korean.

[battiekoda]

Man, just the stuffing alone looks delicious! I feel like I'd make extra of that just to have on hand!!! 😂

[jessirose]

I'm so interested in korean food all the sudden

[theonetruesarauniya]

Daniel and Katie! I loooove oi sobagi! It's so good. Usually forget to make it though. Also learned about the boiling water from you! Have been missing you and Katie!
Also as a sidenote, your hair looks great Daniel! I need to convince my guy to be a bit more stylish like you haha. P.S. that thumbnail of the standing cukes would've been the best haha.

I need some pot care from you lol, your pots look amazing.
Finally have some breathing room after working HUGE OT hours for almost a month straight, get to enjoy some vids I missed.

Good vibes and love to you! Please take care and can't wait to see ya!
