Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for a delicious seasoned radish salad, elevated with the aromatic flavor of perilla oil. It’s especially wonderful when your appetite wanes during the summer months.
Step 2
First, prepare about 1/4 of a medium radish. Using a mandoline slicer or a knife, julienne the radish into thin, long strips. The thinner you slice it, the crispier and more delicious it will be.
Step 3
Heat a pan over medium heat and generously add 2 tablespoons of perilla oil. Add the julienned radish to the hot oil. The nutty aroma of the perilla oil will beautifully complement the radish, adding a wonderful depth of flavor.
Step 4
Sauté the radish over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until it becomes slightly translucent and tender, but still retains some crispness. Be careful not to overcook, as this can release excess water. Stirring occasionally with a spatula will help it cook evenly.
Step 5
Once the radish has softened slightly, add a small amount of finely chopped green onion. The subtle sweetness and aroma of the green onion will further enhance the overall taste of the seasoned radish.
Step 6
Now it’s time to season. Add a pinch of salt. It’s best to add salt gradually, tasting as you go, rather than adding too much at once, to ensure it harmonizes well with the radish’s natural sweetness and the perilla oil’s fragrance.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty flavor. Give it one last gentle stir to incorporate the sesame seeds, and your delicious seasoned radish salad is ready!
Step 8
And there you have it! A wonderfully crisp and fragrant seasoned radish salad, bursting with the aroma of perilla oil.
Step 9
Transfer the finished seasoned radish salad to a serving dish. Presenting it nicely will make it even more appetizing.
Step 10
This perilla oil seasoned radish salad, with its savory fragrance and satisfying crunch, is the ultimate side dish. It’s perfect served with rice or as an ingredient in bibimbap. Enjoy your cooking and savor this delightful meal!
