Altari radish kimchi, also known as Chonggak kimchi, is popular in Korea.
Altari radish grown in the fall are preferred, as they are sweeter and less pungent. Radishes get their sweetness from glucose and fructose.
Kimchi for Bachelors
Chonggak translates to bachelor in Korean. This kimchi got it's name because the radish used for the kimchi resembles a ponytail. Back in the old days in Korea, young men wore their hair in a long braid. Because the radish stem resembles the braid, the Altari radish was nicknamed bachelor, or Chonggak. Whether or not it is a favorite of bachelors, this particular kimchi is my favorite and very popular in Korean cuisine.
