동치미
Radish Water Kimchi
Yes, keto as served. About 5g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A clear, refreshing, and naturally fermented water kimchi made primarily from daikon radish, often with minimal amounts of napa cabbage, green onions, and chili. It's typically served cold as a tangy side dish or palate cleanser, without the thick chili paste of regular kimchi.
Key ingredients
Daikon radish, napa cabbage, water, green onion, ginger, garlic, red chili (optional), salt.
Optional tweaks
None needed, as it is traditionally made without added sugar or starches.
Watch out for
Very minimal natural sugars from vegetables; ensure no sugar is added during fermentation (uncommon for traditional Dongchimi).
