Vegetables from Jeju Island

Jeju kimchi (tot, gyul mul-kimchi, gat mul-kimchi, kkotdae)톳김치

This entry groups four kimchi that Korean Wikipedia lists for Jeju Island, made from hijiki seaweed, tangerine, mustard leaf and flower stalks. Only their names and region were found; the ingredients are read from the names and no method was found.

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