Pa-kimchi

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Introduction[edit | edit source]

Pa-kimchi is a type of kimchi that is made from green onions, also known as scallions. It is a traditional Korean side dish that is enjoyed for its spicy and tangy flavor. The name "Pa-kimchi" comes from the Korean word "pa" which means green onion, and "kimchi" which is a general term for pickled vegetables.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

The main ingredient in Pa-kimchi is green onions. Other ingredients include garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, fish sauce, and salt. Some variations may also include sugar, shrimp paste, or sesame seeds.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare Pa-kimchi, the green onions are first washed and cut into pieces. The other ingredients are then mixed together to create a kimchi paste. This paste is spread over the green onions, ensuring that they are fully coated. The coated green onions are then left to ferment for a few days before they are ready to be eaten.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Pa-kimchi is typically served as a side dish with meals. It can also be used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as kimchi fried rice or kimchi stew.

Health Benefits[edit | edit source]

Like other types of kimchi, Pa-kimchi is rich in probiotics due to the fermentation process. It is also a good source of vitamin C and fiber.
