Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not peel the entire radish skin—only scrape off dirty black spots with a knife to avoid making the kimchi soften too quickly.
  • Adding soju during brining helps keep the radish crisp for longer and prevents off odors later.
  • For long-term storage, ensure all moisture is fully removed after brining, as residual water can spoil the flavor over time.

Recommended for

  • Those who love tangy, crunchy radish kimchi that pairs perfectly with ramen or rice.
  • People curious about the secret brining technique for young radish kimchi that stays crisp over time.
