Recipe

Peel 800g of radish and slice into long, even strips using a mandoline or knife.
In a bowl, combine salt 1 tablespoon, sugar 5 tablespoons, vinegar 5 tablespoons, red pepper powder 2 tablespoons, minced garlic 1 tablespoon, and water 200ml. Mix well to create the seasoning broth.
Add the sliced radish to the seasoning broth and mix thoroughly. Let it marinate for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, when the radish has released some moisture and absorbed the flavor, flip it over and let it marinate for another 10 minutes.
Transfer the finished radish salad to an airtight container and refrigerate until chilled before serving.

Slice radish into long, uniform strips.
Mix salt, sugar, vinegar, red pepper powder, minced garlic, and water to make the seasoning broth.
Add radish to the broth and marinate for 30 minutes total, flipping occasionally, then refrigerate.

Cooking tips

Skip salting and squeezing—enjoy the radish’s natural moisture along with the refreshing seasoning broth.
For richer dishes like pork belly or chicken, add a splash of vinegar just before eating to brighten the flavor.

Recommended for

Those who find the traditional method of salting and drying radish too tedious.
People needing a tangy sweet side dish that pairs perfectly with chicken, pork belly, ramen, or other hearty meals.
