Sogeum is a traditional Korean pickled vegetable dish, often made with napa cabbage or radishes. It is typically seasoned with a mixture of salt, garlic, and sometimes chili pepper, allowing the vegetables to ferment slightly. This process enhances the flavor and preserves the vegetables, making them a popular side dish in Korean cuisine. Sogeum is commonly served alongside rice and other main dishes, providing a tangy and crunchy contrast. It is enjoyed for its health benefits, as fermented foods are known to support digestion and gut health. This dish is a staple in many Korean households and is often made in large batches.
