Baek Jong-won's Radish Salad (Musaengchae)

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• When using a mandoline to slice radish, it's easy to injure your hands. It's recommended to wear a work glove for safety.
• If you season based on the taste immediately after mixing, it will become bland once the radish releases water. It's crucial to wait at least 10 minutes for the radish juice to come out before finalizing the seasoning to avoid failure.
• If you have minced ginger at home, adding a tiny amount, about half the size of a pinky fingernail, can replicate the deep flavor of professional restaurants.
• When storing the finished Musaengchae, press it down firmly like kimchi to remove air. This allows the seasoning to penetrate evenly, resulting in better flavor as it matures.
