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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Korean radish (mu) or daikon radish and julienne it into thin, matchstick-sized strips.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, rinse the radish thoroughly with cold water to remove the salt. Drain well and gently squeeze out any excess water.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the chopped green onion, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Toss lightly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., adding a bit more sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess).
Step 7
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to a day to let the flavors meld further.
