Jung Ho-young's Restaurant Mupickle

A restaurant-style mupickle with crisp texture enhanced by using althari radish and a delicate, rich aroma from mint tea bags.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using althari radish instead of regular radish results in a tighter texture that stays crisp much longer, and including the stem part also enhances flavor.
  • Simmer the brine sufficiently so the flavors evenly penetrate, ensuring a well-balanced, deep taste in the final pickle.
  • Pouring the brine immediately while boiling can cause the radish to overcook and become soft; cooling too much may prevent proper pickle formation. Aim for about 70°C when pouring.
  • The mint tea bag elevates the pickle’s aroma with a sophisticated touch, adding subtle mint notes without overpowering the overall flavor profile.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a crisper, more refined texture than traditional chicken radish or regular pickles.
  • Home cooks wanting to make a clean, homemade pickle to pair with rich Western dishes like pasta or steak.
