Gat kimchi

This kimchi variety is prepared with mustard leaves (gat) that are coated in a spicy mixture of chili flakes, ginger, garlic, finely sliced scallions, and (optionally) fermented anchovy paste. The greens are roughly chopped before they are coated in the paste and left to ferment.

Gat kimchi is appreciated for the pungent flavor of the leaves that perfectly complement the spicy chili paste. Mustard leaf kimchi is usually served as banchan - a traditional Korean side dish.
