This Man's Cook's Bokssam-style Radish Salad

A crisp, chewy radish salad inspired by bokssam restaurants, where radish moisture is fully extracted using maltose so no water forms over time, maximizing the satisfying crunch.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never use sugar when soaking radish—this causes excessive sweetness. Always use maltose to remove moisture cleanly without adding sweetness.
  • Sealing the radish in a ziplock bag with all air removed ensures even moisture extraction without needing to flip or stir during soaking.
  • Squeeze the radish thoroughly to remove every last bit of moisture—this guarantees a chewy, crunchy texture that stays intact over time and prevents the dressing from becoming diluted.
  • Pre-mixing the dressing and letting it mature while the radish soaks eliminates the raw pepper smell and deepens the flavor profile.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer the chewy, firm texture of bokssam-style radish salad over the soft, watery texture of regular radish salad.
  • People looking to solve the common problem of water accumulating in radish salad over time, which dilutes the seasoning.
  • Those seeking a spicy-sweet, clean, savory side dish to pair with boiled pork or other meat dishes.
