This stuffed cucumber kimchi, called oi sobagi, is an easy kimchi to make! Being a summer favorite in Korea. It’s crisp, crunchy and deliciously refreshing!
Add water with salt in a medium size pot. Bring it to a boil.Pour the boiling water over the cucumbers in a bowl. Let it sit until the cucumbers are bendable, about an hour or two, depending on your cucumbers and salt.
Drain the cucumbers. Holding the top end of the cucumber on the cutting board, run a small knife through the middle lengthwise. Turn the cucumber and make another cut through the middle lengthwise to make a cross cut. Repeat.
Gently open each slit and insert about a teaspoonful or two of the stuffing. Be sure to fill all 4 slits of each cucumber. Repeat until all the cucumbers are stuffed. Place them in a jar or an airtight container. Leave it out at room temperature for a day.
