Water kimchi, or "mul kimchi," is a refreshing Korean side dish made by fermenting vegetables in a seasoned brine. Unlike traditional red kimchi, it is typically mild and lacks chili powder, making it less spicy. Common ingredients include napa cabbage or radish, garlic, ginger, green onions, and sometimes fruits like Asian pear for natural sweetness. The salty, tangy broth is rich in probiotics, promoting gut health and aiding digestion. Low in calories and fat but high in vitamins and antioxidants, water kimchi is a nutrient-dense option. However, it does contain sodium, so portion control is recommended for individuals monitoring their salt intake. Its light, hydrating flavor profile complements many Korean meals and offers a crisp, clean taste that refreshes the palate. Water kimchi showcases the versatility of Korea's rich fermentation tradition.
