  • Servings : 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Korean radish (about 500-600g)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (100ml)
  • 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 handful green onions, chopped
  • 1 chili pepper (optional, diagonally sliced)

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

This braised radish is so delicious, whether served warm or cold! It’s a true ‘rice thief’ that will make you devour a bowl of rice in no time. You won’t need any other side dishes.

Step 1

Step 2

First, peel the radish thoroughly. Then, slice it into rounds about 0.5 to 0.7 cm thick. Arrange the sliced radish in a pot, covering the bottom. This helps the seasoning penetrate evenly.

Step 2

Step 3

Pour 1/2 cup (100ml) of soy sauce over the radish slices. The soy sauce will infuse the radish with its savory and umami flavors.

Step 3

Step 4

Next, add 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes for a touch of spiciness. If you enjoy heat, feel free to add a little more.

Step 4

Step 5

Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Gently mix the seasonings with the radish. The sugar will enhance the radish’s natural sweetness and balance the saltiness of the soy sauce.

Step 5

Step 6

Now, add enough water to generously cover the radish. This prevents the radish from burning and ensures it cooks evenly. Scatter a handful of chopped green onions on top. If you like, you can also add diagonally sliced chili peppers (red or green) for extra color and flavor. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

Step 6

Step 7

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the radish is tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. Gently shake the pot occasionally or stir with a spatula to prevent sticking. As the sauce thickens, the flavors become more concentrated and delicious.

Step 7

Step 8

Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, your delicious braised radish is ready! It boasts a deep, savory flavor comparable to braised fish. Served over rice, it’s absolutely delightful. Enjoy it warm, or chilled for a wonderfully chewy texture and intensified flavor.
