Kimchi (also spelled gimchi, kimchee, or kim chee) is signature dish in korean food. It is hot red pepper based pickled dish made of vegetables.
Oi kimchi is stuffed cucumber kimchi which is popular during the spring and summer time.
It has crunchy texture and refreshing juice will make you feel wonderful.
So prepare it in small quantities. Be careful when you put cucumbers in brine in order to maintain the firm texture of the cucumber.
It will be more convenient for you to put three knife incisions so that the stuffing will not fall out, but if you are preparing a large quantity of cucumber, just cut off the ends of the cucumber and cut the cucumber into quarters, the long way.
You can use any cucumber, but I recommend to use Japanese cucumber if you can find!! Japanese cucumber taste great!!
