Steps
Chop your fresh chives to be approximately 2-3 inches long.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gochugaru, brown sugar, minced garlic, fish sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and the marinade is well combined.
Add the chopped chives into the bowl with the marinade.
Toss and mix the chives thoroughly until they are fully incorporated and evenly coated with the marinade.
Place the finished kimchi into an airtight container and seal it.
Let the chives marinate in the refrigerator to develop flavor; enjoy immediately or throughout the week.
Notes
This dish is a classic Korean banchan (side dish). It is easier to make than traditional cabbage kimchi and requires fewer ingredients while offering similar gut-health benefits.
