Vegetables from Gyeongsang, Korea

Ueong kimchi (burdock kimchi)우엉김치

A rare kimchi of burdock root. Korean Wikipedia lists it among Gyeongsang's regional kimchi, and a review of old cookbooks found it in only two. No source read describes how it is made, so the single step below is only a placeholder.

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