Cooking tips 💡

• Do not open the lid while boiling bean sprouts—this prevents any fishy smell from developing.
• Avoid slicing the radish too finely, as it will lose its crisp texture; aim for a thickness similar to the bean sprouts.
• Do not rinse or squeeze the pickled radish excessively—just strain it to remove excess moisture naturally, preserving the crisp bite.
• For better adhesion and richer aroma, lightly crush the sesame seeds before adding them to the dish.
