What Is Ponytail Kimchi?
When you’re new to kimchi or Korean meals, you could not know that “kimchi” doesn’t simply discuss with the spicy, purple cabbage aspect dish that at all times goes viral on TikTok. Consider it or not, there are lots of of several types of kimchi. Whereas napa cabbage kimchi or “baechu kimchi” is undeniably the preferred, this ponytail kimchi is just not that far off by way of ubiquity.
Ponytail kimchi is made out of Korean child radish. These radishes are even sweeter than the absolutely grown Korean radish (which you have to be acquainted with from my VIRAL VEGAN KIMCHI RECIPE) and they’re extremely crunchy. Not like radish kimchi or kkackduggi (a recipe you could find in my cookbook, Selfmade), the newborn radishes aren’t cubed or reduce into smaller items. They’re saved complete (in the event that they’re sufficiently small) or halved (generally quartered, in the event that they’re humongous).
What does ponytail kimchi style like? Aside from the feel, ponytail kimchi is similar to baechu kimchi. In actual fact, many individuals use the identical precise kimchi paste (or one very very like it) to make ponytail kimchi. Once I’m feeling further formidable, I’ll usually make each baechu kimchi and ponytail kimchi on the identical time and simply double the sauce.
By way of taste, ponytail kimchi shall be:
- Tart
- Candy
- Salty
- Spicy
- Inexperienced-y
I added that final beautiful adjective as a result of, once more, the lengthy leafy stems positively can add a little bit of a salad vibe to this kimchi.
Because of the further crunchy texture of the Korean radish, many individuals usually rank ponytail kimchi above baechu kimchi. Plus, due to the variability between the radish and the tender greens, you actually get two sorts of kimchi in a single with this specific kimchi! BUT, as a result of the lovable little radish is a bit tougher to amass (they actually must be in season) and the salting course of is a bit tougher to nail down, it isn’t supplied as steadily as one may like at a Korean restaurant. However, lemme inform you: each time we noticed it rising up, you higher consider it was one of many first aspect dishes that wanted to be replenished!
Why do they name it “bachelor kimchi”?
So, sure. In Korea, ponytail kimchi is typically known as “bachelor kimchi” or “bachelor radish kimchi.” In actual fact, the phrase “chonggak” actually interprets into “bachelor” or “single males.” I imply, one take a look at them and also you’ll see why…. 🤣 Okay, okay, we’re a [mostly] household pleasant affair right here at The Korean Vegan, however I couldn’t move that one up!
Again within the outdated days of yore, in Korea or Choseun (because it was referred to as again then), younger males would put on their hair in an extended braid. When you’ve watched any interval k-dramas, then you recognize what I’m talkin’ about. As a result of the newborn radishes with their lengthy, inexperienced tails regarded a lot just like the braids worn by single males, the vegetable was quickly named after them: bachelor radish or chonggak mu. I like random, historic information like these and at all times attempt to embody them in these weblog posts, although most of you gained’t learn this 🤣
KEY INGREDIENTS AND NOTES ON SUBSTITUTIONs For This Ponytail Kimchi Recipe.
The next are the important thing elements in addition to substitution suggestions for this ponytail kimchi recipe:
Korean Child Radish.
Ponytail kimchi requires ponytail radish, aka Korean child radish, aka chonggak radish, aka bachelor radish, and so on. and so on. You’ll probably solely discover this radish out there at a Korean grocery retailer; so, except you reside subsequent to a Korean market, you probably will not discover this at your native grocery retailer and even farmer’s market. Quite a lot of instances, these child radishes are imported from Korea (as is the case with grownup Korean radishes).
How to pick Korean child radishes? Normally, the newborn radishes are going to be about 2 to three inches lengthy and round 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. One of the simplest ways to inform whether or not the radishes shall be good (i.e., candy and crunchy) shall be to take a look at the leaves. If they appear tremendous brown and gross, you’re not going to wish to eat them and, likelihood is, the radishes they’re hooked up to shall be delicate. You’ll additionally wish to see a tinge of inexperienced in the direction of the bottom. Now, don’t fear if the radishes themselves, or the leaves, seem soiled–that’s regular. You’re going to scrub them up fairly as an image anyway.
You possibly can go along with bigger child radishes, however the bigger they’re, the much less candy they are typically (for my part). Plus, I believe they appear prettier when the radishes are saved complete, however in the event you do get bigger ones, you can be halving or quartering them into spears.
There aren’t any substitutions for ponytail radishes if you wish to make ponytail radish kimchi!
Sea Salt.
As we mentioned within the baechu kimchi recipe, salt is the following most necessary ingredient in any kimchi (after the vegetable). First, do not use desk salt to make any kimchi, together with ponytail kimchi. Use a rough sea salt (Korean kimchi salt is one of the best, if you may get your arms on it) or coarse Kosher salt.
Candy White Rice Flour.
As a way to make the rice paste for the kimchi sauce for this ponytail kimchi recipe, you’ll want a pair tablespoons of candy white rice flour (aka, glutinous white rice flour). I discover this to be the simplest approach to make the rice paste. However in the event you can’t get your arms on candy white rice flour, you may also substitute the rice paste with 1/4 cup of cooked white rice blended with 1/4 cup of water.
Onion.
The kimchi sauce for this ponytail kimchi requires two totally different sorts of onion: an everyday onion (i.e., the spherical one) and a inexperienced onion (the lengthy, skinny one). I like to make use of yellow or white onions for my kimchi, however you need to use no matter form of onion you’ve got available. As for the inexperienced onions, you’ll be utilizing each the whites and the greens for this ponytail kimchi. When you don’t have inexperienced onions, you may substitute with garlic chives or Korean chives.
Apple and/or Korean Pear.
As a way to add a bit of sweetness and to optimize the fermentation course of, this ponytail kimchi recipe requires apple and/or Korean pear. I like to make use of each in all my kimchi recipes, however in the event you solely have one, that’s advantageous. I want a Fuji apple (which is fairly available in each the US and Korea), however actually, any candy apple will do (I’d keep away from granny smith for this one, because it’s too bitter).
Garlic.
This can be a kimchi recipe. In fact it’s going to have garlic. I don’t have a substitution advice for garlic–in the event you don’t have it or don’t prefer it, you may skip it (although this can completely have an effect on the flavour of your kimchi). BTW, although my mother would evil-eye you, I’ve no downside with you utilizing store-bought, pre-peeled garlic. When you’re determined, you may even use that pre-minced stuff! Higher than no garlic, for my part!
Ginger.
I’m not an enormous ginger fan, however I’ll grudgingly admit that kimchi simply doesn’t style the identical with out it. Identical factor as with garlic: in the event you don’t prefer it or have it, simply skip it. And, I’ve no downside with the shop purchased stuff.
Plum Syrup.
I want sweetening my kimchi sauce with plum syrup, which, I do know, isn’t simple to get right here in the US. However it is rather a lot what Korean ajummas use in Korea to make their kimchi, which is why I like to make use of it myself. When you’re going to the Korean grocery retailer anyway to choose up your radishes, simply hop on over to the syrup aisle to get plum syrup or “meh-shil-chung.”
When you forgot to choose up plum syrup when you had been there, you may substitute in brown rice syrup, agave syrup, corn syrup, straight up sugar, and even maple syrup (although, honest warning–after I proposed this as a sub in a latest video, some ajumma referred to as me “loopy”–which is virtually a swear phrase in Korean).
Gochugaru.
Come on, you didn’t assume I’d provide you with a kimchi recipe with out gochugaru, did ya? Okay, nicely, tbh, I do have a kimchi recipe with out gochugaru, however this ponytail kimchi is just not it! As you in all probability already know, gochugaru is Korean pepper powder or Korean chili flakes. As with all my kimchi recipes, I like to recommend you go along with a rough gochugaru. Typically, the packaging of the gochugaru may also point out how spicy it’s (sure, there’s a honest quantity of vary with regards to spice degree for gochugaru). However in the event you’re grabbing what you may from the non-Korean grocery retailer, you’ll in all probability find yourself with a not-overly-spicy gochugaru.
I don’t suggest substituting gochugaru with paprika or cayenne or another form of chili flake for this ponytail kimchi. Gochugaru is good and smoky and a bit of fruity, whereas additionally being coarse in texture. I don’t know every other chili flake that exactly matches these options. Plus, whereas I’m not an entire Korean ajumma, even I want to attract the road someplace!
Fishy Sauce.
Okay, so the factor that makes most kimchi, together with ponytail kimchi, not vegetarian or vegan, is the fish sauce or anchovy sauce. And I’m not going to sugarcoat it for you and say “don’t fear, your kimchi will style precisely the identical with out it!” It gained’t. However right here’s the excellent news!! One of the vital well-liked recipes out of my cookbooks is my “Fishy Sauce”–a wholly vegan sauce that tastes a lot like Korean fish sauce, it had my omma’s eyes completely POPPING–, however you may also discover it proper right here, on my weblog, without cost! It’s like the simplest recipe, ever, too!
In any other case, sure, you should purchase vegan fish sauce, however the choices I’ve seen are not Korean model fish sauce. They’re southeast asian model fish sauces, that are fairly a bit sweeter than the Korean variety. In lieu of that, I’d reasonably you utilize a robust soy sauce (like soup soy sauce or a gluten-free soy sauce to maintain this recipe gluten-free) and even yondu (which is a Korean model broth enhancer).
Korean Chives or “Boochoo.”
Many ponytail kimchi recipes, together with this one, incorporate Korean chives or “boochoo.” Korean chives are going to be a bit wider than the chives you see in your baked potato. The latter shall be hole and minced up right into a garnish, whereas Korean chives shall be flat. They may also have a much more garlicky, onion-y taste than western model chives. Lastly, they are going to be thinner, although, than Chinese language chives, which I usually see on the Korean grocery retailer too. Chinese language chives are a lot wider and thicker than Korean model chives.
For this ponytail kimchi recipe, Korean model chives are one of the best, however Chinese language chives are additionally an excellent possibility. I’d not use western model chives, as they are going to be too stringy. They’ll probably get annoyingly tangled with the radish greens, offering for a not enjoyable texture. When you don’t have entry to chives, I’d simply substitute extra scallion greens or julienned mustard greens (my mother actually loves including mustard greens to kimchi).
tools you’ll want for This ponytail radish recipe.
I don’t normally have a particular call-out for tools, however for kimchi, it’s at all times a good suggestion to go over the stuff you’ll want:
- Massive bowls for salting.
- Blender for the sauce.
- Mason jars or different hermetic containers for fermentation.
Step-by-Step Directions to Making Ponytail Kimchi (You bought this).
Okay, let’s be tremendous sincere right here: kimchi is a journey. Simply scroll by the feedback of my baechu kimchi recipe–it may be emotional to efficiently conquer kimchi making! Why do you assume most Korean individuals do it in teams? It’s for ethical assist! So, although I gained’t be there with you in individual, I needed to make the next directions so ridiculously and absurdly clear and straightforward to observe, it’ll be like I am with you. So, roll up your sleeves, gird your loins, and let’s get to it.
Step 1: Clear Your Child Radishes.
Have a look at the earlier than and after image under earlier than you learn yet one more phrase:
We’re not kidding round with regards to cleansing our child radishes. This half will take longer than you need, so I wish to get comfy. I take a bunch of paper grocery baggage and even newspapers and unfold them out on my desk and simply plop my radishes proper on the floor. Take heed to an audio e book or podcast.
First, you’re going to take a paring knife or a small knife you’d use to chop fruit and use it to snip off the unpleasant furry tip of your radish (please preserve your thoughts out of the gutter, people).
Second, you’re going to take away any darkish blemishes, random hairs, or divots with the identical knife, kinda like once you’re peeling potatoes. You eliminate the “eyes,” proper? Or the gross trying sprouts. Identical deal right here.
Third, give the radish a light-weight scrape with the sharp fringe of your blade. You don’t wish to peel the radish, as that’s the place a lot of the flavour resides. You simply wish to decide up any cussed grime.
Fourth, take away any tremendous wilted (or useless) greens out of your radish, however achieve this gently. In any other case, you threat eradicating the tail out of your pony altogether. 🙁
Fifth, carry your radishes over to the sink. Utilizing metal wool or dish brush scrubber, scrub your radishes clear whereas operating them underneath chilly water. You need them completely gleaming by the point you’re completed. Make certain to totally rinse the greens, as nicely, as they have a tendency to gather grime and sand.
Sixth, pat them dry with a kitchen towel earlier than putting them in a big bowl.
Non-obligatory Seventh, in case your radishes are very giant (longer than 3 inches, thicker than 1 1/2 inch), you’ll wish to halve and even quarter them into spears. Once more, take care with the radish greens once you achieve this, to ensure they keep hooked up. In the event that they do come off, simply stick ’em within the bowl with the radishes anyway.
Step 2: Salt Your Radishes.
Sprinkle the salt over your radishes in order that it’s evenly distributed. Then, sprinkle the water over your radishes, in order that they get evenly moist. Totally toss the radishes, to ensure each single radish and radish inexperienced will get salted. You’re going to assume that is an excessive amount of salt, however don’t fear–you’ll be rinsing all of it off, later.
Step 3: Pickle the Radishes.
Typically, relying on how contemporary and enormous your radishes are, and whether or not you’ve reduce them into smaller items, you’ll wish to preserve them within the brine between 90 minutes and three hours. Be sure you stir and flip them each 45 minutes or so, to ensure they get evenly coated within the liquid they launch.
Step 4. Put together the “sludge.”
Whereas your radishes are pickling, put together the blended combination or what I name the “sludge.” Place the onion, scallion whites, garlic, apple, pear, ginger, and plum syrup into the blender and mix till clean. Put aside or place within the fridge in case your radishes nonetheless have an extended approach to go.
Step 5. Put together the Rice Paste or “Pul.”
The rice paste or “pul” is the “glue” that may maintain the kimchi sauce collectively. To make the pul, add the candy white rice flour to a small saucepan over low warmth. Add 3/4 cup of water. Improve the warmth to medium whereas whisking the contents of your pan. After about 3 minutes, you’ll discover the combination beginning to thicken. Proceed whisking the combination, then, for one more minute or two (so there aren’t any lumps), till it begins effervescent. Take away from warmth and put aside.
Step 6. Rinse Your Radishes.
Figuring out whether or not your radishes are able to be rinsed is the toughest a part of this recipe. It’s a lot tougher than with baechu kimchi, since (a) you may readily take a look at the “bendiness” of cabbage whereas radish remains to be too laborious to see how pliable it’s grow to be; and (b) you may at all times style the cabbage to see if it’s salty, whereas the radishes, themselves, are so valuable, you usually don’t wish to waste them by tasting them.
Listed here are issues you are able to do to inform whether or not they’re prepared:
- Examine the greens to see if they’re tremendous wilted and delicate.
- Lower off the tip of a radish–if it tastes extraordinarily salty, they’re prepared.
- Strive bending the radish spear–in the event that they readily bend with out snapping, they’re prepared.
- When you’ve saved the radishes complete like I did, use the picture under as a information to how flexible they are going to appear.
When you’ve decided they’re prepared, carry them over to your sink and rinse every radish and its hooked up leaves totally. The overall rule of thumb is to rinse every radish twice. Afterwards, dry them off totally with a kitchen towel; in any other case, they are going to be too moist and can dilute the kimchi sauce.
Step 7. Make Your Kimchi Sauce.
Put together the kimchi sauce by including your sludge, rice paste, gochugaru, and fishy sauce into a big bowl. Combine the contents utilizing a big wood spoon or spatula till it turns right into a paste.
Step 8. Add The Greens.
Add the salted radishes, along with the scallion greens and chives to the bowl containing the kimchi sauce. Utilizing gloved arms (that is one of the best) or tongs (this isn’t supreme), combine the veggies within the sauce till they’re evenly coated and distributed. Don’t get sloppy right here–it’s actually necessary that the radishes and radish greens get nicely coated with the sauce to optimize fermentation.
Step 9. Retailer Your Ponytail Kimchi.
Storing your ponytail kimchi is half of the recipe (and never only a separate query for leftovers), since how and the place you retailer it is going to influence how lengthy it takes to ferment. Place your radishes and their greens in a 64 ounce mason jar or different equal container. When you’re utilizing a mason jar, you may wrap the inexperienced tails across the radishes to create tidy bundles to put within the jar. Press down on the radishes to be sure you squeeze out any air pockets. The ultimate layer of radishes needs to be smothered in kimchi sauce and sprinkled with a tablespoon or two of salt (this can guard towards the expansion of yeast).
Seal your container and depart it out at room temperature for 3 days. Then, place within the fridge. Your ponytail kimchi needs to be able to take pleasure in a few week to 10 days after you’ve positioned it within the fridge!
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR PONYTAIL KIMCHI.
Even essentially the most skilled ajummas can screw up their ponytail kimchi. My mother and even my sister-in-law (the queen of kimchi in our household) admitted that ponytail kimchi will be particularly tough. However the excellent news is that even the largest failures are normally repairable. Listed here are a few frequent errors and “fixes” for these errors, to make sure that this ponytail kimchi is really the finest!
- Not Salty Sufficient. As I mentioned, your radish ought to style “too salty” proper earlier than saucing as a result of the saltiness will dissipate over time. You’ll know inside the first 24 hours of fermentation whether or not your ponytail kimchi is salty sufficient. I do know–tasting one other piece of that valuable radish feels such as you’re losing it, however if you wish to get a learn on taste, style some. If it doesn’t style salty (it ought to), merely add 2 tablespoons of salt to your jar. You don’t even want to combine it in. It would style overly salty, at first, however after just a few days to per week, will probably be excellent.
- Too Salty. On uncommon events, your ponytail kimchi shall be too salty. This normally signifies that you saved your radishes within the brine for too lengthy. If this occurs to you, no worries! Merely reduce up some grownup Korean radish or julienne some carrot and add it to your ponytail kimchi. The newly added veggies will suck up the additional salt and in just a few days, your ponytail kimchi will style nice!
- Yeast on my Kimchi. Typically, you may see the formation of white “mould” on the highest of your kimchi. This normally types when your kimchi is uncovered to an excessive amount of oxygen. Merely take away the kimchi on high that has the yeast and the remainder of your kimchi is simply advantageous. Nevertheless, to be able to guard towards this sort of factor occurring, be sure you use an hermetic container. When you’ve got numerous area between your kimchi and the lid to your container, sprinkle with a tablespoon of salt or add plastic wrap excessive earlier than sealing the container. Lastly, your kimchi needs to be submerged, as a lot as doable, in its personal juices.
