Cooking tips 💡

• Adding sugar while blanching radish greens helps eliminate their strong odor and significantly improves texture, making them softer.
• Since the rice is pre-soaked, use slightly less water than usual to achieve a fluffy, distinct grain texture.
• Adding a bit of fresh water to the seasoning sauce prevents it from being too thick and reduces saltiness, making it more enjoyable when mixed with rice.
