Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rinse the fresh oysters under running water just enough to remove any debris. Avoid washing them too vigorously, as this can diminish their natural flavor. Drain them thoroughly in a sieve for about 30-40 minutes to ensure all excess water is removed; this prevents the salad from becoming watery. Thinly julienne the radish to about 1mm thickness.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: gochugaru, sugar, ginger powder, minced garlic, corn syrup, chopped green onion, soy sauce, anchovy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Mix well with a spoon until you have a smooth, flavorful dressing. Add the julienned radish to the dressing and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Once the radish is well coated with the dressing, carefully add the well-drained oysters. Mix gently, using your fingertips or the back of a spoon, being careful not to crush the oysters. Gentle mixing is key to maintaining the oysters’ texture.
Step 4
Your delicious fresh oyster salad with crunchy radish and a spicy-sweet dressing is ready! Serve it immediately. It’s a fantastic side dish for rice or a perfect accompaniment to a cold glass of makgeolli (Korean rice wine).
