Kim Dae-seok's Dried Hollow-Radish Muchim

A delicious side dish made by preserving hollow or regular radishes with sea salt and saccharin sweetener, drying them in a food dehydrator, then tossing them with kelp broth and a special seasoning sauce to create a satisfyingly chewy texture and rich umami flavor—perfect as a rice companion.

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.
  • Fans of chewy, spicy-sweet traditional side dishes.
  • Home cooks interested in making homemade dried radish using a food dehydrator.
