Kongbat-mu kimchi (bean-field radish kimchi)콩밭무우김치

Kongbat-mu kimchi is named in one Korean cookbook reviewed by Lee and Lee (1990). The name means radish from the bean field, which suggests small radishes grown between soybean rows and pickled with their tops; no method text was found.

A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Kongbat-mu kimchi itself. Its own sources do not record how it is made, so the steps and scenes below are those of Chonggak kimchi (ponytail radish kimchi), the closest documented vegetables ferment, shown as a guide to the method, not as a record of Kongbat-mu kimchi.
