Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Wash and peel the radish.
  2. Peel and julienne the radish. One large radish should make about 6 Cups.
  3. Put the cut radish into a large bowl and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss the radish pieces to distribute the salt evenly.
  4. Add the vinegar, sugar and red pepper powder. You can add more or less to taste.

Notes

  • Sodium level is high because it calculates ALL salt content although you will normally be eating the radishes and not the liquid. Lot of salt and other seasonings will be in the liquid and not the radish itself.
  • Buying good Korean radish is important because it really dictates the taste of this dish other than the seasoning. Here’s how to tell if a radish is fresh and of good quality: fresh radish has a smooth skin and should feel totally firm when pressed. Poor quality radishes can also have little air pockets inside which means air went into the radish as it was growing in the field. These radishes are drier, less sweet and is low on nutrients. To pick radishes without these air pockets, pick up a few similar sized radishes and compare the weight of them. The heavier the better.
