This Korean-style tomato recipe (often called spicy pickled tomatoes) is a real treat! The combination of garlic, vinegar, oil, and fresh herbs gives the tomatoes an incomparably juicy texture and a perfectly balanced sweet and sour flavor.
As for their shelf life, if kept properly in the refrigerator, they really do last a very long time! The acidity of the vinegar and natural preservatives like garlic and chili pepper prevent them from spoiling, even without sterilization.
🍅Korean-style tomatoes, no canning required.
