My mother is Korean. Growing up I didn’t have the best appreciation for Korean food, but I certainly do now. Korean food is hands down one of my favorite cuisines, and I am excited to share some Korean recipes with you…starting with kimchi.
Kimchi is so very important in Korean cuisine. There are many different types of kimchi, which basically refers to fermented and pickled vegetables.
Kimchi is generally served as a side dish, or “banchan.” I confess that sometimes I am way more excited about the banchan than the main dish! Typically you will be served several types of banchan if you dine at a Korean restaurant. They are colorful, beautiful, varied, and delicious!
Last week, a lovely Korean gentleman gave me a BUNCH of wild green onions. I knew I was going to have to make pa kimchi as soon as I laid eyes on them.
Are You Looking For a Great Kimchi Recipe? Try Pa Kimchi!
I hope that you will give this recipe for pa kimchi a try. The recipe is so very easy and quick, and not to worry! If you don’t have any wild green onions, regular green onions will do. 🙂
The recipe calls for Korean hot pepper powder, which is so beautiful! You can find this at your local Korean market, or you can order it here on Amazon.
Consider serving this pa kimchi as a side dish to Jajangmyeon (Korean black bean sauce noodles). Get the recipe for Jajangmyeon here. 🙂

Korean Wild Green Onion Kimchi – Pa Kimchi
Ingredients
- 300 grams wild green onions, or green onions
- 1 inch ginger minced
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup Korean hot pepper powder
- 6 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/4-1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Rinse the green onions, and cut off the bottom portion with the roots; remove any outer skins and then you can cut the remaining portion in half if desired
- Add the ginger, garlic, Korean hot pepper powder, fish sauce, and water to a mixing bowl, and mix all ingredients well. Start with 1/4 cup water, and add additional water if you prefer a saucier kimchi
- Add the green onions to the spice mix, and mix well using your hands. You may want to use some gloves at this point!
- Store the pa kimchi in an air tight container. This will keep for several weeks, but I don’t think it will last that long!
