Kimchi made by cutting radish into rectangular or cubes, salting it, and mixing it with red pepper powder or other seasoning.
Originally, the Chinese character "刻毒 spirit" was used as royal cuisine. According to one theory, Princess Sukseon, the daughter of King Jeongjo, created the dish and posted it to the father, and the dish spread to the private sector. However, the problem is that when King Jeongjo died, Princess Sukseon was only eight years old and was given kkakdugi as her elder brother, Soonjo, rather than Jeongjo. Some speculate that the dish was originally made from a folk dish but was moved to the palace. This speculation is also supported by the fact that kimchi made from radishes, not cabbages, was more common during the Joseon Dynasty.
Another reason why it was called kkakdugi is said to be because it makes a crunchy sound when chewing.
Although the method of making Chonggak kimchi and its ingredients are similar, they are very different in size in that they can be eaten by cutting them into small pieces. Chonggak kimchi is made of whole altars or quarters, so the elasticity of chewing the hard outer part is no joke. Chonggak kimchi cooks significantly slower than chopped kkakdugi. Chonggak kimchi is eaten to enjoy the hard texture of radish, and kkakdugi is eaten to eat seasoned radish. Young children can chew kkakdugi easily and digest it well, making it a side dish for kindergarten meals.
It goes well with Seolleongtang. It is said that the unique taste of kkakdugi at home is due to the addition of cider. If you don't like the sweetener and fragrance of cider, you can use boiled and cooled sugar water. Also, the soup produced from kkakdugi goes well with foods such as rice soup and noodles. Unexpectedly, there are cases where kkakdugi soup is served separately at rice soup restaurants. Although the taste of kkakdugi is almost determined by the seasoning, the soup rarely gets worse.
Kkakdugi soup is sometimes mixed with the soup of gukbap, and this is called kkakguk. It raises the taste in its own way, but there are some likes and dislikes. Also, due to the nature of most stores that ferment at room temperature, it is quite easy to rest beyond normal fermentation, which raises the taste. Even if it is almost decomposed, it is not visible on the outside.
It is also widely used as a side dish for hard food restaurants.
