Pa-kimchi (파김치), also known as green onion kimchi or scallion kimchi, is a type of kimchi that Koreans usually eat for banchan (traditional side dishes) and is most popular in Jeolla-do. Pa-kimchi uses medium-thick green onions known as jjokpa (Korean: 쪽파), which are fermented to maturity in powdered red pepper gochutgaru, garlic, ginger and seasoned with myeolchi jeot (salted anchovies). It is known for its hot spicy taste.[1]
South Koreans add either fermented anchovies or fermented brine shrimp (saeujeot), depending on the region.
