Kimchi Salad w Napa Cabbage Bomdong[/caption]
Fresh Kimchi Salad with Spring Napa Cabbage is kimchi that you can make in minutes with no pickling and no need to wait for days for fermentation. Koreans call this type of fresh kimchi salad as Geotjeori (겉절이) which basically means pickling just the outside (geot 겉). In English, people call this Instant Kimchi, Fresh Kimchi, Kimchi Salad...I can't decide what is the best name for it but what's important is the fact that this is a Kimchi that can be made right before serving, just tossed with seasoning.
OK, so what is Bomdong(봄동) ? This spring cabbage is only available in the Spring = bom 봄 in Korea. There are different opinions as to whether this is a different variety of cabbage altogether or it is actually the same Korean napa cabbage that is used for Kimjang Kimchi and regular kimchi but is just grown differently.
