Let’s make a delightfully sweet and tender stir-fried radish dish! This recipe is easy to follow and results in a healthy, flavorful side that’s perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium Korean radish (mu)
- 1 handful scallions
- 1 handful carrots (about 1/5 of a carrot)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soy sauce (or fish sauce)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil (deulgireum)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s begin making a delicious stir-fried radish dish! This recipe uses simple ingredients to create a wonderful flavor.
Step 2
First, thinly julienne the radish using a knife, rather than a mandoline slicer. Cutting it thickly like this will ensure a tender yet satisfying texture after cooking. Heat 1 tablespoon of perilla oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the thickly sliced radish and stir-fry until it becomes slightly translucent and tender, about 5-7 minutes. This process softens the radish and brings out its natural sweetness.
Step 3
Once the radish begins to soften, add 100ml of vegetable broth or water. Continue to stir-fry gently as the liquid reduces, allowing the radish to absorb the savory flavors. Then, cover the pan and let it steam over low heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the radish is very tender. Remove the lid, stir in 1 teaspoon of soy sauce (or fish sauce), 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and the julienned carrots and chopped scallions. Stir-fry briefly until the vegetables are just wilted. This step should only take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds over the dish and mix well. The nutty aroma and flavor of the sesame seeds will enhance the overall taste.
Step 5
And there you have it! Your delicious and tender stir-fried radish dish is ready. This flavorful side is perfect served with warm rice or packed as part of a bento lunch. Enjoy this delightful seasonal vegetable dish!
