Crispy Dongchimi Radish Salad
Super Easy Dongchimi Radish Salad: A Seasonal, Simple Home-Cooked Radish Dish Perfect for Lunchboxes
Let’s make a delicious salad with fresh seasonal dongchimi radish. Its crisp texture and sweet and sour flavor are simply superb!
Ingredients- 3 Dongchimi radishes
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Oligodang (corn syrup or similar sweetener)
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make a savory and flavorful dongchimi radish salad. It’s much simpler than you think and anyone can easily follow along!
Step 2
If the dongchimi radish you have is too salty, soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes to slightly reduce the saltiness. However, ours wasn’t too salty, so we only soaked it briefly before squeezing out all the water firmly with our hands. This step is crucial for the final seasoning!
Step 3
Now, place the squeezed dongchimi radish in a large bowl. Add all the prepared seasonings: 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp oligodang, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Gently mix everything together with your hands, ‘jobal jobal’ style, ensuring the seasoning coats the radish evenly. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, as it might bring out a raw flavor.
Step 4
And just like that, your delicious dongchimi radish salad is ready! It’s not only a fantastic side dish for rice but also an excellent addition to lunchboxes, especially for kids. Its crisp texture and sweet-and-sour taste will surely whet your appetite.
