  • Can you use the hot red pepper paste instead of the powder??

  • how do you cook

  • Are regular chives and garlic chives the same? I am unfamiliar with chives in general.

  • @TheDinoBean

    Garlic chives are a little different from regular chives you see in the American grocery store.. try to find it in a Korean or Asian grocery store. thanks

  • Will try to make this tonight :))))))

  • is there a way to make it less spicy, looks delicious but too spicy for my stomach

  • @uniqbrother

    reduce the red pepper powder ^^

  • @uniqbrother I want to add my two cents in that if you do add less spice, you need to eat it sooner because the peppers are one of the things that preserve it.

  • Looks nice but spicy as hell. lol

  • Awesome recipe. Looks really easy. I may try it! Thanks Aeri! :)

  • can I make the same kimchi using a zucchini instead of cucumber?

  • @artisticgalacticgyal

    Well.. I'm not accustomed eating raw zucchini... so I don't think it will taste good to make kimchi using a zucchini for this recipe. sorry..

  • @aeriskitchen ok I understand..and that u so much for the fast response and information..I love ur videos..have u made gat kimchi before?

  • Ahhahahaha gongchaaan loves this! :D :D :D

  • @aeriskitchen I think your recipes and Maangchi's are fabulous.

  • How long can this stay in the refrigerator (meaning, does it get spoiled after a certain amount of time)? does the dish it is stored in have to be airtight? Thank you.. I look forward to making this dish :-)

  • @KuroOkamiOni

    you can keep for few weeks..but it will get sour later if you keep too long.. ^^

  • i want to make it , but i don't have fish sauce << is it important for the taste ?? and thank u sa much

  • @lifeHE

    yes.. fish sauce gives good flavor and help fermenting process too.. so if you can .. try to get fish sauce.. it will be useful for making other korean kimchi too. ^^

  • oh my god it looks so good <3<3

  • omagosh, this looks soooo good and crunchy! I wish I could have a piece!

  • I have a question, I went to H-mart and tried 2 kind of cucumber kim chi. I can only tell the different between those two are sesame seed. I brought the one with sesame seed b/c it tastes more flavorful to me. Does the taste will be different with the sesame seed or there is another recipe for cucumber kimchi? Thank you :D

  • @tutiha

    well .. my opinion is... sesame seeds will not give much difference for flavor. if the 2 cucumber kimchi tasted totally different to you.. i don't think it's because of sesame seeds.. you just tried 2 different dishes.. ^^

  • @aeriskitchen i had one at a restaurant. im not sure if it was sweet and delicious and sliced thin. is it the same thing?

  • @thelumbahjack

    nope..what you tried is.. just side-dish.. ^^ so it's different from this cucumber kimchi..

  • @aeriskitchen thanks

    

  • I see u often use red pepper powder..but not all pepper powders are the same, can u tell me what brands u can buy or what it is called in korean? I am afraid I will use the wrong one, which is tooooo hot xD hahah

  • @Yummy907 btw..I think it's called gochugaru :P I googled it..m not sure :P

  • @Yummy907

    yes.. gochugaru is right. good job ^^ well.. any kind of korean brand will be safe to use..

  • Adore this!

  • Hi Aeris, Thanks so much for this recipe, I love your creativity and your videos. So far I tried making your 3,4 korean food, it turned out so well... Thanks to you & keep it up!

  • @butterflytown90 Also, I don't have fish sauce in our country and I wonder what I need to do. Is there any other ingredient that I can replace it with??? Appreciate it

  • @butterflytown90

    do you have shrimp sauce ? maybe not.. just use salt with a little bit of water instead of fish sauce then..

  • You said in a bowl mix all the ingredients... But.. You didnt say what the ingredients were

  • @Jeshika11

    In my ingredient page, I typed "Sauce Ingredients: * 1 Cup Red Pepper Powder * 6 Tbsp Fish Sauce (or Some Salt) * 6 Tbsp Water * 2 Tbsp Sugar * 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic * 2 tsp Minced Ginger ".. that's what I meant.. sorry for confusion.. thanks

  • Thank you, Thank you!!! for sharing this recipe. I saw this being made once in a korean drama and have been wanting to find the recipe to this. Now I have and will definently try it. Thank you. I saw other recipes you've made and I have subscribed to your site. Thank you again for sharing it with the rest of us! Have a good day! =)

  • I've been looking forever for this song!!!! I love korean food and culture, and out of all the places I can't believe I found the name to this song by watching a cooking video!  What luck!!!! Is there an english translation to the artists name? I will soon try your recipe as well!

  • @LPJillV

    the artist is not professional person.. so you will not be able to find his music online.. but since you asked..I will translate.. "Old Person" thanks..

  • i thought u could just add salt on the cucumbers and leave it for like 20mins til its soft...and rinse it out...

  • do you have to have the ginger and garlic to make the paste?

  • @XxTruSelfxX

    yes..they give good flavor to it..

  • i use these kirby cucumbers too...but after a few days..the skin is rough. Should i be getting some younger cucumbers?

  • @Phaythful

    yes.. right kind of cucumber is important for this recipe.. maybe next time..use younger.. cucumber or cucumbers have thin soft skin.. thanks

  • hi aeris! i use japanese cucumber...it taste sooooo good and sooo crunchy! thank you so much!

    and hope that you will continue to share your talents in cooking....

    next week i will try your version of oven baked spaghetti.... so delish!

  • can i use regular cucumber?

  • @boralady

    for this cumber kimchi.. it is important to have thin(soft) skin cucumber.... and doesn't have big seeds in it... so depending on the type of cucumber.. the texture and flavor of the kimchi can be changed.. If the cucumber is not too big or.. doesn't have too thick skin.. you can try..

  • just made my first batch a few minutes ago... its sooo crunchy and delicious! cant wait for it to cool after a few hours in the fridge =D

  • I asked my friend how to make cucumber kimchi, she told me put hot water. Since I saw your videos. I fully understand why put hot water. I really like your videos. I made a lot Korean food for myself. Thank you. Your video is the best Korean food.

  • This is the best Kimchi Ever!!!!!! I made it last year and ended up eating it all myself.

    I used the McCormick red pepper flakes and regular chives and it still turned out awesome!!! Thank You for posting. I am about to make another batch.

  • Comment removed

  • how long does this stay good in the fridge?

  • @RaeIzGr8

    You can eat this kimchi for several weeks...

  • is it okay to cut the cucumber in slices instead of cutting it into an X-shape? I love your videos btw! Thank you for your great easy and tasty recipes! ^^

  • @smilegirl101

    well.. for texture and taste.. I will say.. cut x-shape instead of slicing.. you don't want your cucumber too small or thin..

  • @aeriskitchen x-shape is also for the crunch, while slices will make the cucumber too soggy, right?

  • @aeriskitchen x-shape is also for the crunch, while slices will make the cucumber too soggy, right?

  • what if i dont have garlic chives? i have all the other ingredients but dont have the chives....

    and i LOVE cucumber kimchi!!!!

  • @Phaythful

    increase the amount of green onions instead... ^^ maybe can add some carrot for the filling too..

  • @aeriskitchen i made this and didnt put enough hot pepper flakes. Can i add some more to it after its already been made? and i want it a lilo sour...so can i add some vinegar to it?

    i also saw someone else making cucumber kimchi without pouring hot salt water on the cucumber...is there a reason for that?

  • @Phaythful

    yes you can add more flakes later ..but not vinegar.. once it's fermented.. it will be sour.. hot salt water helps to make the cucumber kimchi texture a little more crispy.. and keep the texture longer..

  • Wow so fast you say thank you for watching see you again bye haha live your cooking!!! Too bad in singapore little Korean store

  • 망치님은 구세대 대량 실전형이고 이 분은 신세대 소량 깔끔형이고^^

  • @iam21111

    하하... 표현이 너무 잼있으시네요. ^^ 감사합니다.

  • i've been making poor man's oisobagi with sriracha; this looks much better! i'll be sure to try it soon.

  • Aeri please come live with me ! :)

  • 역시 외국에 사는 한국인인지.. 어려서그런진 몰라도 존나 못만든다.. 최소한 동네 음식점 수준으로 만들순ㄴ 있어야 하지않나 동영상에 올리는 거라면.. 그냥 고추장만 묻혀놓은거 같음 .. 이거 오이소박이 아닌가 ?

  • Thank you! I just made this today! (:

  • Please print a cookbook!!! I love your recipes! Melissa

  • @homelybill

    we are working on it.. thanks ^^ 

  • I made this a little while ago and the flavour is great it really is a good recipe..

    but unfortunately i made it WAY too spicy. Don't get me wrong i can handle my spice, i eat kimchi all the time, But i don't know why it's so hot, it would seem there's too much capsaicin in the pepper powder I used. Is there any way I can maybe use a filler in my kimchi sauce to reduce the spicy?

  • @labelfree904

    if it's normal kimchi.. like napa cabbage.. I will say add some chunk of korean radish.. or more fresh cabbage without salt.. but.. for this one.. I will say.. eat it as a small pieces... and eat it with rice.. thanks

  • it looks really yummy....^_^....

    i just wanted to ask....if you could please tell me....what camera you use to take the pictures??????hehehehe

    thank you.....fighting... :)

  • @ashma95

    I use canon eos rebel xsi ^^

  • thank you for the recipe!~ can we cut the cucumbers into bite size pieces before hand so after its done you wont have to cut it when you serve it? like a simpler version i guess? ><

  • @misslily101

    then.. your kimchi can be too salty since it's smaller pieces.. so adjust the amount of saltness.. and.. the texture can be not crunch..because the smaller pieces will be fermented faster than bigger chunks.. which means.. you might not keep it longer like the original size..

  • yummy

  • i dont know why i torture myself watching these korean food videos... im so hungry!! ^_^

  • Yammi this is heavy stuff :)

  • I love love love Kimchi! I have a big container in my fridge now. I made the one with the raw oysters. So good!! I am the only one who eats it in my house. It is okay though. More Kimchi for me!! Yay!

  • @sheliene12

    lol you made me smile.. more kimchi for you.. ya ~~~ lol Nice to meet you !!!

  • Hi aeri~ I'm gonna make this today ^^ but i have one question, for the sauce do we use sweet rice flour mixture like the other kimchi sauces? it doesnt say here so im confused @.@

  • @yurilovesutada

    you are right.. sorry for confusion ^^:;

  • Thanks for sharing this recipe! We're getting a ton of cucumbers from our garden and I plan on making this as soon as I get all the ingredients.

    Are the chives necessary? I ask b/c they seem to be hard to get a hold of here.

    Also, I saw on another cucumber kimchi recipe that they used red pepper FLAKES. Is tht the same as the powder? If not, will it still come out tasting the same?

  • @shollia

    wow.. he had lots of cucumber last year from garden.. but this year we didn't plant anything.. aha.. if you don't have garlic chives.. increase the amount of green onion instead.. yep.. you can use flakes..just the texture of the paste will be a little different..and you might want to grind them with other ingredients to make the kimchi paste.. but taste wise it will be similar.. thanks

  • @aeriskitchen It looks fantastic!!!

  • made this last night and my wife loved it. next time il make this in big batches and store it. thanks!

  • @angmakisig

    Great !!! thanks :D

  • i just tried to make this cucumber kim chi!!:) the taste was good, but i could taste the ginger sooo much!! does the ginger taste disappear alittle after acouple of days or will it be just as strong as now? thank you aeri! hope my bff will like this kekeke^^

  • itried and i liked it. ithought you had to leave it in it. but i remember i ate one right after i finished and i was like "Yeah, im good" lol. after a day or so i went to look at the other cucumber, and it was looking soggy so i threw it away. definitely making more in the future. thank you aeri

  • @kulyia

    huk.. why did you throw away ??? ^^:; you didn't like the flavor later ??

  • @kulyia Kimchi is at its best when it has a chance to sit and ferment. Next time, don't throw away. Just eat it! YUM!

  • can i use regular salt?

  • @yadanalin

    Yes u can.. but you have to think...the amount will be different.. hm.. sorry.. I always use sea salt to make kimchi.. so I'm not sure how much it should be to use regular salt.. make salt water.. it will be salty but eatable..

  • I made this today but didn't really like it. Not that it is a bad recipe. It's not that at all. Just not the style that I prefer. One of my favorite parts of making kimchi is indulging in the fresh just-made taste of fresh packed cabbage or cucumber. However, this recipe tastes sour almost from the get-go and is more suited to those that like their kimchi aged. Only mentioned for those who might prefer a crunchier and less mature taste as I do.

  • @saprater25

    I can agree some part what you said.. personally..I prefer fresh cucumber also.. but I found out.. many people really like cucumber kimchi.. hehe so it's just personal taste.. I'm thinking to use fresh cucumber without soaking it in hot water as I did on my video someday. I know.. it will not be good for kimchi..but experiment... hehe thanks for your opinion.

  • Oh yes, only a matter of personal preference. The recipe is very good. My mother, who likes the more sour kimchi, came over and raved about these. And you were right about the brine keeping them crunchy. While the fresher taste is nice, those get very soft quickly. These, on the other hand, are still crunchy and it's been at least 4 days since I made them. Making your spicy croaker next and hope you have good luck in finding the crab for gejang. :)

  • @saprater25

    hehe.. thanks :D yep.. I hope I can find fresh crab also.. hehe thanks :D

  • I'll try that, Thank you very much Aeri ^_-

  • Hi. I tried the recipe but it came out very very spicy and hot. Is there anything I can do to have the spicy taste to mild?

  • hi Starlightbeauty1225,

    well.. maybe you can't eat spicy food well.. or your pepper powder was hot ?? usually.. kimchi is kind of spicy... (to be honest, kimchi is not that spicy to me..hehe ) all I can say for you now is... eat little pieces of cucumber kimchi with your rice... cut it into very little pieces..it will help.. or sometimes.. (we do this for little kids..) in a cup or bowl.. get some water..and before you eat the kimchi.. dip it in that water..it will reduce some hotness. thanks

  • I did it once! and MY god! SOOooo good!

  • you have a soothing voice. :)

  • that look very delicious , you make the food look very great. i am going to korean market right now thankss ;))

  • great! seems so easy to make this kimchi, compared to 배추김치 ^^ i will try it!

  • YUMMY

  • hi randompplzdoinrandom,

    Oh~~ you love it ?? cool~~~ thanks hehe..

  • I LOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can I use zuchini instead of cucumber? Oo

  • hi, sallly87

    Oops.. I'm sorry.. I don't think zucchini will work for this. ^^:;

  • ummm...too bad :( I have really small zucchini and I thought, that that could work, maybe...Is there another kimchi receipt with zucchini?

    thank you for your reply :)

  • hi sallly87,

    I don't know other areas in Korea..but at least my hometown,,, my mom never made zucchini kimchi while I was grown in Korea. sorry for this answer. You can make Korean zucchini pancake or sidedishes. I posted the videos before. thanks :)

  • Every time I make kimchi it does not taste good. I am lousy at it. But I love cucumber kimchi. I think I will try this recipe. Thanks so much!

  • hi,sabrinamom

    Oh~~~ Kimchi can be kind of difficult Korean food to make.. because of the salting cabbage part is a little difficult. If you have chance to try this.. I hope you like this.. good luck. :)

  • yummi, i should try it!

  • hi, Thaifoodmaster

    Thanks for your comment. Yes, please try it someday. :)

  • hi aeri unnie!

    May I ask what font did you use?

    thanls!,

    anyways... ur a good cook!

    :]

  • hi, jaejoonglove24

    The font is "strenuous" ... so you like that ?? hehe

    Thanks for your comment. You love jaejoong. ;)

  • I have all the ingredients for this except the garlic chives. Can I make it anyway or will this really alter the taste of the cucumber kimchi?

  • hi, maraskywalkeriii

    aha.. you don't have garlic chives.. it's okay.. you can use more green onions instead of it. Thanks :)

  • cool music.

  • hi, Losvatoslocos

    Thanks ^^

  • hello there! could you tell all me the ingredients i need for raddish kimchi and cabbage kimchi? thanks and lots of love.

    fan from singapore!

  • hi, chickntenders

    Oh.. Did you watch my radish or cabbage kimchi videos ??? maybe not... I will send you links for those recipes from my blog..so you can check the ingredients. thanks !!!

  • it looks delicious! It's a first time that I have seen cucumbers this size. I wonder if other types of cucumbers are okay too, to make this dish? Like mini cucumbers or those crooked ones?

  • hi, heopie

    yep.. mini cucumbers or thin cucumbers are good for this dish. Even normal cucumbers will work too... just a little different texture it will give..but still good. thanks..

  • can i put bbq sauce on mine??

  • hi, porkchopmeaty

    On your cucumber kimchi ??? well~~~~ you can do whatever you want...but no guarantee for the flavor...hehe I can picture myself dipping fresh cucmber to bbq sauce though.. anyway.. thanks..

  • can i use regular salt? rather than Coarse Sea Salt?

  • well it really depends, i prefer you use coarse sea salt, it give more flavors and it keeps the cucumbers crunchy even if you leave it in the fridge for days...

  • hi, ecrpimsks

    Thanks for great answer for "itsabsolutelyashley" hehe.. :)

  • hi, itsabsolutelyashley

    ecrpimsks already gave you a very good answer..one thing I will add more... coarse sea salt..and regular salt.. as you can see... their size are different.. the saltness are different too.. so you might have to watch how much normal salt you use. I cup of corse sea salt is different from 1 cup of regular salt. thanks :)

  • Mashippda^^ i think i spelled it wrong tho... lol they look really dilicious and i know i'll like them because i just love kimchi everything^^
