Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings

  • sea tangle 2 bundles
  • radish 1/4 head
  • green onion 1/2 stalk
  • minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon
  • sugar 1 spoon
  • vinegar 1 spoon
  • anchovy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • salt a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the radish thinly and evenly, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and toss thoroughly to soften and pickle it.
  2. Lightly sprinkle sea tangle with salt and rub vigorously under cold water by hand to clean it thoroughly, removing impurities and its characteristic fishy taste.
  3. Rinse the cleaned sea tangle again in clear water, then squeeze tightly by hand to remove as much moisture as possible.
  4. In a large bowl, combine sugar and vinegar in a 1:1 ratio (1 spoon each), then add minced garlic (1/2 tablespoon), a pinch of salt, and anchovy sauce (1 tablespoon).
  5. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until the sugar granules are completely dissolved and no grittiness remains.
  6. Chop green onion finely and add to the dressing. Rinse the pickled radish briefly under cold water, squeeze out excess moisture, and add to the dressing.
  7. Add the prepared sea tangle to the dressing and use your hands to separate clumps, gently tossing to ensure even coating of the radish and dressing.
  1. Julienne radish and pickle it with salt; wash sea tangle thoroughly in saltwater, then squeeze out all moisture firmly.
  2. Mix sugar and vinegar in equal amounts, then add anchovy sauce, minced garlic, and chopped green onion to create a savory, flavorful dressing.
  3. Add the drained radish and sea tangle to the dressing, separating strands with your hands and tossing gently until well combined.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If moisture remains in the sea tangle or radish, the dressing will not adhere properly and may taste too diluted—ensure thorough squeezing before mixing.
  • Unlike regular salads, this dish should have a slightly moist, cohesive dressing so the sea tangle stays fresh and crisp even after sitting.
  • Adding 1 tablespoon of soy sauce or anchovy sauce to the dressing enhances depth beyond simple sweetness and saltiness, enriching the umami flavor.
