Kim Dae-seok's Seolleongtang-Style Kkakdugi

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Never rinse the radish with cold water after brining, as this washes away the natural sweetness and subtle saltiness on the surface, which are essential to flavor.
• No need to boil sticky rice flour or wheat flour paste—simply blend 3 tablespoons of cold rice with soaked dried chilies in the blender for a much cleaner, richer, and more satisfying texture.
• The 1/2 cup of soju added to the seasoning is used as part of the seasoning; refrigerate the fermented kkakdugi and check its condition before serving.
