Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Korean radish (mu) or daikon radish
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Korean red chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
Peel the Korean radish (mu) or daikon radish and julienne it into thin, matchstick-sized strips.
Place the julienned radish in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the coarse sea salt. Toss well and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
After 10 minutes, rinse the radish thoroughly with cold water to remove the salt. Drain well and gently squeeze out any excess water.
Return the radish to the mixing bowl and add sugar, rice vinegar, Korean red chili flakes (gochugaru), soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon to ensure the radish is evenly coated.
Add the chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Toss lightly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., adding a bit more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess).
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to a day to let the flavors meld further.
