Cooking tips

  • Adding corn syrup when pickling radish helps maintain osmotic pressure without damaging the cell walls, preserving a clean, crisp, and crunchy texture.
  • After braising the pork belly, if you pierce it with a knife or chopstick and clear liquid—not pink residue—rises to the surface, the meat is fully cooked through and tender.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully make juicy, tender, and completely gamy-free braised pork.
  • Those looking to drastically shorten pickling time while learning the secret to achieving a satisfyingly crisp and crunchy radish salad.
