A Flavorful Side Dish: Chewy Danmuji Salad, the Perfect Rice Companion and Lunchbox Filler!
Let’s start making a simple and delicious Danmuji Muchim recipe by just mixing it up. This recipe is incredibly easy and brings out the best of its texture.
Main Ingredients- Chewy Danmuji (Pickled Radish), 1/2 pack (approx. 100-150g)
- Chopped Scallions, 1 handful (approx. 20g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a ‘Chewy Danmuji Muchim’ that highlights a special, satisfying texture using pre-processed chewy danmuji. Unlike regular danmuji, using this type that’s already cut or processed for chewiness significantly simplifies the cooking process. (If you’re using regular danmuji instead, make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible.)
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the prepared chewy danmuji, chopped scallions, 1 tsp of gochugaru, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds. Gently mix everything with your hands (‘jow-jow’ motion) until the seasoning is evenly distributed on the danmuji. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the danmuji mushy.
Step 3
Voilà! Your beautifully colored and appetizing Danmuji Muchim is ready. The vibrant red from the chili flakes and the fresh green of the scallions create a visually appealing dish.
Step 4
The creation of this delightful Danmuji Muchim, with its appealing chewy texture and savory-sweet, slightly spicy seasoning, is successfully complete. It’s an excellent side dish for rice and also perfect for packing in a lunchbox. Enjoy your delicious creation!
