On the 10th, cooking researcher Kim Ha-jin presented two everyday side-dish recipes using spring cabbage on MBN’s “Altoran.” The two dishes, which herald the beginning of spring, were spring cabbage fresh kimchi and spring cabbage soybean paste salad. They drew the attention of homemakers who had lost their appetites after the holiday season, so let’s take a look at both recipes.
