Cooking tips 💡

• Unlike dried radish greens, boiled ones can become mushy if peeled—pounding the stems with a mallet breaks down the fibers and ensures a tender texture.
• For best results, thoroughly massage the greens with soybean paste and perilla oil before cooking so they absorb flavor throughout, not just on the surface.
• Using rice washing water instead of plain water during cooking helps eliminate the raw, grassy odor and impurities typical of radish greens.
