Dongchimi is a variety of kimchi consisting of daikon baechu (hangul: 배추 Chinese cabbage) scallions fermented green chili ginger bae (hangul 배: Korean pear) and watery brine in Korean cuisine. As the name dong (hangul: 동; hanja: 冬; literally winter) and chimi (hangul: 치미 an ancient term for kimchi) suggests this kimchi is traditionally consumed during the winter season.Dongchimi is fermented like other varieties of kimchi but its maturing period is relatively short (2-3 days).
