Seoul Taste began in our family kitchen, where we slow-ferment small batches to coax deep, complex flavor. Using time-honored techniques, we taste every batch to ensure crisp texture, balanced heat, and naturally probiotic goodness.

How to Make Kimchi

Think of kimchi as the soul of Korean cuisine, it’s much more than just a side dish. It’s a complex, living food that hits almost every taste bud at once

No radishes or fruit. The style should feel fresh, clean, and modern, with soft shadows and vivid but natural colors that match a light beige and fresh orange brand palette.
Step 1:
We start with the heart of the dish, fresh and crisp napa cabbages, and garlic, ginger, and onions, etc.

Step 4.
After rinsing the cabbage in cold water, we coat it in our signature Yangnyeom sauce, with a blend of garlic, ginger, onions, Gochugaru, etc.

Step 2.
Wash the cabbage thoroughly, then cut into bite-sized pieces that hold seasoning and stay perfectly crunchy.

Step 5.
Each leaf is carefully coated by hand with Yangnyeom and green onions, ensuring balanced flavor in every bite.

Step 3.
Sea salt is spread over the cabbage to draw out excess moisture, making it pliable while preserving its crunch.
