Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Summer radish has a strong spicy flavor, so adding just a tiny bit of New Sugar helps eliminate bitterness and sharpness while enhancing umami.
  • Since this is a fresh salad made without soaking, there's no need to remove cucumber seeds—texture remains crisp and refreshing.
  • For a more vibrant and savory flavor in fresh salads with radish, always mix in finely chopped shrimp paste.
  • The dish releases moisture over time, so it’s best eaten right before serving. For extra freshness, add vinegar to taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly make radish salad without the hassle of salting radish.
  • People seeking a cool, crunchy side dish in hot weather without using heat.
  • Those looking for a side dish to mix with black rice or white rice along with gochujang and sesame oil.
