Aha Bujang's Radish and Cucumber Muchim

A side-dish muchim that uses oligosaccharide syrup instead of salt to draw out moisture, keeping it chewy without becoming watery over time.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pickling in oligosaccharide syrup instead of salt prevents the ingredients from becoming salty and only draws out moisture, preserving a chewy texture.
  • Mix gently without crushing so that the gochugaru can firmly hold the moisture and no liquid forms.
  • For a fancier drinking snack, add boiled squid, blanched Korean fish cake (eomuk), or minari according to your preference.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a chewy side-dish muchim that doesn't become watery over time.
  • Those curious about the secret to a savory, spicy, and tangy seasoning in the style of restaurants or professional side-dish makers.
