Kim Dae-seok's Mu-jjanji

Traditional mu-jjanji made by salting whole radishes, then aging them with chili seeds, soju, and jujubes.

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use small, firm fresh radishes rather than large regular ones—this ensures they stay crisp and don’t soften over time.
  • Use only the recommended amount of soju. Store finished mu-jjanji in a sealed container in the refrigerator, and discard if it develops off odors or changes in appearance.
  • The key to success is completely blocking contact with air—squeeze out every bit of air from the plastic wrap and seal tightly to prevent spoilage and flavor degradation.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a consistently crisp and refreshing side dish as a traditional side dish.
  • People aiming to make traditional mu-jjanji cleanly with careful refrigerated storage.
  • Those seeking a refreshing, watery rice accompaniment during summer when appetite is low.
