A seasoned pickle made by curing cucumber and radish in sugar and salt for 24 hours to achieve a crunchy, chewy texture.

Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cut the cucumber and radish into slightly thick 1cm pieces so they retain a firm, chewy texture even after pickling.
  • Adding ssamjang to the seasoning deepens the savory flavor and helps achieve the right consistency.
  • Packing the mixture tightly into a container ensures the seasoning doesn't sit on the surface and evenly permeates the cucumber and radish.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a crunchy, all-purpose topping to add to naengmyeon, bibim guksu, or rice dishes.
  • Those who want to make a pickled side dish with maximized chewiness without using a lot of oligosaccharide syrup.
  • Those who want to prepare a generous batch of basic side dish at once.
