Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh vegetables and fruits that will form the base of your water kimchi. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and slice it lengthwise into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 cm wide. Hull the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Wash the cucumber and slice it into half-moon shapes, about 0.5 cm thick. For the peach and apple, you can leave the skin on, but be sure to remove the core and dice them into approximately 1.5 cm cubes. Slice or roughly mince the garlic. (While a photo isn’t essential here, showcasing the vibrant colors of the fresh ingredients will enhance the presentation!)
Step 2
Arrange the prepared vegetables and fruits attractively in a clean, airtight container. Layering them by color can make the finished kimchi look even more appealing.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to make the flavorful seasoning, the heart of this water kimchi. In a bowl, combine 1 liter of water, 6 tablespoons of vinegar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of salt. Whisk or stir with a spoon until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Taste the mixture and adjust the sourness, sweetness, or saltiness to your preference for a perfectly balanced flavor. Pour the prepared seasoning evenly over the vegetables and fruits in the container.
Step 4
Securely close the lid of the container and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, with the natural juices from the vegetables and fruits infusing into the seasoning. Your delicious, sweet-and-sour Fruity Vegetable Water Kimchi is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it chilled for a refreshing experience.
