Yangbaechu Moochim is a simple Korean side dish recipe that I learned from one of my Korean friends in America. When you want to eat Kimchi, but don’t have it, this cabbage side dish can be a substitute. The taste is a little spicy, sour, and sweet. Depending on your tastes, you can add or reduce some of the ingredients such as pepper powder, vinegar, sugar, or salt. Cabbage is a very healthy vegetable; it is reportedly especially good for your stomach. So I want to recommend this easy Korean side dish for you. *^^*
Yield: 1 Quart

hi Karrie,
thanks
Great.. maybe now you are an expert to make this dish.
hi aeri,
can i substitute this instead of napa kimchi for kimchi jigae?
hi ella,
Oh.. sorry it’s not for kimchi jjigae. ^^;;
Hi! I want to make this dish to eat with rice. I’m a college student so I dont have time to cook everyday. I want to ask how long you can keep this dish in the refrigerator
hi Amileah,
My Korean friend thinks that it tastes only good the first day you make it..but I like it next day and even later too. So it is depending on your taste. I eat mine for several days.. maybe for a week ?? Thanks
Hi Aeri,
This recipe looks delicious! Is this known as gutjeori, or is gutjeori something else?
hi RedRanger123,
aha.. this is different from gutjeori.. gutjeori uses different kind of cabbage..and the seasonings are similar but..different too.. ^^
I’m so thrilled that I came across your website! I’m 1/2 Korean whose mom doesn’t cook. Bleh! My grandmother is a wonderful cook and all your recipes are just like hers. My Korean isn’t that great so when I’d ask her how she made something she’d give me the Korean names so I had some difficulty translating recipes. Thank you thank you thank you! This cabbage kimchee was yummy by the way!
