Ingredients for Dried Radish Salad (Muchim)- 300g dried radish strips
- 3 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp anchovy sauce
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
I’ll show you a recipe for dried radish salad (muchim) that offers a deep, savory flavor, perfect for any meal. This method uses a special technique to achieve incredible taste with minimal effort.
Step 2
First, prepare 300g of dried radish strips. Soak them in clean water for about 30 minutes to rehydrate. This step softens the radish and allows it to absorb seasonings better, enhancing the overall flavor.
Step 3
Once rehydrated, rinse the dried radish strips thoroughly under running water to clean them. Make sure to remove any grit or debris. After rinsing, squeeze out as much water as possible with your hands. This is crucial to prevent the salad from becoming watery and to ensure the seasonings adhere well.
Step 4
Next, add 3 teaspoons of red pepper flakes and gently mix to coat the radish strips. This step is like giving the radish a ‘chili powder coat’. Doing this beforehand helps the radish develop a beautiful color, similar to aged kimchi, and deepens the spicy flavor. Let the radish sit with the chili powder coating for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5
Then, add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of oligosaccharide (or corn syrup), and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Mix gently by massaging the ingredients into the radish. This adds sweetness, umami, and a hint of garlic aroma, balancing the flavors.
Step 6
Finally, stir in 2 teaspoons of anchovy sauce and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds for garnish. The anchovy sauce adds a profound savory depth without any fishiness, enriching the flavor profile. Mix everything together well.
Step 7
And there you have it! A delicious dried radish salad (muchim) elevated by the rich umami of anchovy sauce. It’s the perfect side dish that will have you reaching for seconds. Enjoy your meal!
