Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a truly simple yet delicious crispy pickled radish salad. This recipe has minimal ingredients and an easy process, making it a fantastic banchan (side dish).
Step 2
First, we need to prepare the crispy pickled radish. I’ve prepared 1kg of crispy pickled radish, which is readily available at supermarkets or local markets. You can use any brand you prefer.
Step 3
It’s crucial to squeeze out the excess water from the crispy pickled radish. You can rinse it under running water if you like, but I opted to just squeeze out the moisture thoroughly. If there’s too much water left, the seasoning can become diluted, so squeeze firmly with your hands.
Step 4
Place the squeezed crispy pickled radish into a large bowl. Loosening the radishes so they aren’t clumped together will help the seasoning distribute evenly.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add the seasonings. First, let’s add 4 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for color and a touch of spiciness. Feel free to adjust this to your preference.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, which complements the tangy flavor of the pickled radish. You can add a little more if you prefer it sweeter, but be mindful not to make it overly sweet.
Step 7
For a perfect balance of sweet and sour, add 4 tablespoons of vinegar. Vinegar enhances the refreshing tang of the pickled radish and cuts through any richness.
Step 8
Generously add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and rich flavor. Sesame oil elevates the overall taste of any seasoned dish.
Step 9
Finally, add 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds for extra nuttiness and visual appeal. This completes all the ingredient preparations!
Step 10
Now it’s time to mix everything together! Put on a pair of clean disposable gloves and gently toss the pickled radish with all the seasonings until well combined. And there you have it – a delicious crispy pickled radish salad with a delightful chewy texture and a perfect sweet and sour flavor! Isn’t it incredibly easy?
