Green Onion Kimchi
10 servings
30 minutes
If cabbage kimchi is a food that is prepared mainly in the fall, then green onion kimchi is a traditional fresh spring snack. Onion kimchi is eaten right away, no one stores it for future use. I like it when the whole onion is in kimchi : both green stems and very young white bulbs. In Korea, onion kimchi is an expensive thing, because there, due to the climate, onions quickly go from youth to maturity, and kimchi needs just the intermediate stage, when the onion has acquired character, but has not yet matured.
