📝 Preparation Steps
1
Drain one 16-oz. jar Napa cabbage kimchi in a mesh sieve set over a small bowl. Squeeze as much brine out of kimchi as possible. Measure out ½ cup brine (it’s okay if you have less) and set aside; discard any excess. Coarsely chop half of kimchi; finely chop remaining kimchi. Set aside separately.
