Main Ingredient- Radish 400g (about 2/3 of a medium radish)
Seasoning- Sesame oil 2 Tbsp
- Cooking oil 1 Tbsp
- Minced garlic 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 Tbsp (or to taste)
- Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp
- Sesame oil 2 Tbsp
- Cooking oil 1 Tbsp
- Minced garlic 2 Tbsp
- Salt 1/2 Tbsp (or to taste)
- Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the radish. Typically, the peel is removed for radish dishes, but today we’ll wash it thoroughly and use it with the peel on. Preparing about two pieces of radish (approx. 400g) will yield enough for 2 servings, or about two meals.
Step 2
Let’s cut the radish. You can slice the radish for this dish in various ways depending on your preference. Thinly julienning it, like in the photo, will make it cook faster and easier to eat.
Step 3
The thickness of the julienned radish is important – not too thick and not too thin. Slicing it to a moderate thickness, as shown in the picture, will give it a pleasant texture and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
These two pieces of sliced radish, about 400g, make approximately 2 servings. Making a generous batch is great for having a reliable side dish ready.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the stir-frying seasoning. Heat 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Cook until the garlic turns slightly golden and releases its aroma.
Step 6
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the sliced radish and stir-fry briefly. It’s important to toss them together so the sesame oil and garlic flavor coat the radish evenly. (Tip: If you are making this radish dish for ancestral rites, omit the garlic.)
Step 7
After adding the radish, pour in about 6 Tbsp of water to help it cook without sticking and become tender. Cover the pan and let it simmer over medium heat for about 4 minutes. This steaming process will make the radish moist and bring out its natural sweetness.
Step 8
Once the radish is well-cooked, add 1/2 Tbsp of salt to season. Radish dishes are often enjoyed with a mild flavor that highlights the radish’s natural taste, but adjust the salt to your liking. Finally, add another 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty aroma, and sprinkle generously with 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds. Your delicious stir-fried radish is ready!
Step 9
Your incredibly simple and tasty stir-fried radish dish is complete! It’s a flavor that everyone from children to adults loves, making it an excellent side for babies. Preparing this over the weekend will ensure your weekdays are well-catered with delicious side dishes.
