Kim Dae-seok's Low-Salt Pickled Radish

Ultra-quick pickled radish made by thinly slicing radish with a mandoline, salting and dehydrating with malt syrup, then seasoning with a soy brine infused with chili pepper seeds and ginger.

Ingredients needed 5 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding malt syrup along with salt when pickling maximizes osmotic pressure, drawing out moisture more effectively and giving the radish a chewier texture.
  • Boil the soy brine over the lowest heat to prevent it from reducing too much and to gently extract flavor.
  • Since vinegar is heat-sensitive, add it after removing the brine from the heat — while it's still warm or as it cools — to preserve its acidity and aroma.
  • Because the radish is sliced thinly with a mandoline, it doesn't need long aging; perfect pickled radish is ready in just two days.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a pickled radish that is not salty but mild, while still having a crunchy, chewy texture.
  • Those looking for a quick pickled radish recipe that can be completed in a short time and served right away.
