Cooking tips
- Pre-brining radishes with sea salt and saccharin sweetener before drying gives them a much more flavorful base compared to simply drying them raw.
- Adding 2 tablespoons of soju when soaking the radishes eliminates the unpleasant pungent smell typical of dried radish.
- Use fine gochugaru instead of regular to ensure even, attractive color distribution on the surface of the dried radish.
Recommended for
- Those who want to transform difficult-to-handle hollow radishes into something delicious.

- Home cooks interested in making homemade dried radish using a food dehydrator.
