green onion (green part) 20cm

lukewarm water 1 cup (for soaking shrimp)

water 2 cups

minced garlic half teaspoon

water 1 cup (200ml, for adding)

sesame oil 1 tablespoon and a half

toasted sesame seeds a small amount

Recipe

Cut 500g of radish diagonally and thinly, like sharpening a pencil, directly into the cooking pot.
Add 1 tablespoon of sea salt (without brine) and 1 tablespoon of dried anchovy sauce to the radish in the pot, mix well, and let sit for 5 minutes to allow seasoning to penetrate.
Cut the green part of the green onion in half lengthwise, then chop finely into bite-sized pieces.
Place half a handful of dried shrimp in a dry pan or bowl and microwave for 20 seconds to remove fishy odor. Then add 1 cup of lukewarm water and let steep to extract flavorful components.
After 5 minutes, turn on the heat under the pot with the pickled radish. Stir-fry the radish over low heat for 3 minutes without any oil until it becomes slightly translucent.
Once the radish is well cooked, add 2 cups of fresh water, half a teaspoon of minced garlic, and the soaked dried shrimp along with its soaking liquid. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, when the broth has reduced, add another 1 cup of water and the chopped green onion. Cover again and boil gently for 3 more minutes.
When the radish is fully tender and soft, turn off the heat. Drizzle with 1 and a half tablespoons of sesame oil and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds evenly. Mix lightly and serve.

Soak radish in salt and dried anchovy sauce for 5 minutes, then stir-fry without oil for 3 minutes.
Add water, minced garlic, and the dried shrimp with its soaking liquid. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water and chopped green onion, cook for 3 more minutes, then turn off heat and finish with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.

Cooking tips

Avoid adding sesame oil at the beginning or cooking radish at high heat for too long, as this can cause rancidity. Instead, stir-fry the pickled radish without oil, then add the sesame oil at the end for aroma.
Slicing radish diagonally like sharpening a pencil increases surface area, allowing the sweet, refreshing flavor to infuse deeply into the broth in a short time.
Using Chinese-style dried shrimp instead of regular ones greatly enhances umami depth. Microwaving them for 20 seconds before use removes any off-flavors and fishy taste cleanly.
