Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Always use coarse sea salt instead of regular salt when pickling radish and perilla greens to maintain crispness and prevent excessive moisture loss or softening.
• When blending shrimp paste, only use the solid pieces—discard the liquid—to keep the seasoning texture clean and not overly sticky.
• If squid sauce is unavailable, dried anchovy sauce can be used as a substitute to achieve a deep, savory flavor.
• While delicious immediately after making, letting the dish sit at room temperature for about one day before refrigerating for two days enhances its flavor, mellowing the spiciness and deepening the aroma.
