Caramelized Kimchi Relish

This caramelised kimchi relish is a punchy, versatile condiment that brings a vibrant hit of Korean-inspired flavour to your table. By searing half of the fermented cabbage in a hot frying pan with cider vinegar and sugar, you create a sticky, savoury glaze that perfectly balances the natural acidity of the kimchi. It is a fantastic way to elevate a simple jar of kimchi into something truly special.

As a plant-based topping, this vegan relish is an excellent addition to meat-free burgers, hot dogs, or even stirred through a bowl of steamed rice. The combination of the deeply browned, caramelised cabbage and the crisp, raw kimchi provides a satisfying contrast in textures. Serve it at your next barbecue as a modern alternative to traditional pickled onions.
