Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Take out half of the soy-pickled radish that was preserved in soy sauce. If you don’t have homemade pickled radish, you can use store-bought ones as well.
Step 2
First, cut the pickled radish lengthwise into four pieces. Then, slice it thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. Avoid slicing too thinly, as it might affect the crispiness. Aim for a satisfying thickness.
Step 3
Place the sliced pickled radish in cold water and soak for about 5 to 10 minutes. This step helps to rinse away any excess saltiness and impurities, ensuring a balanced flavor.
Step 4
Carefully remove the pickled radish from the cold water and place it in a cheesecloth or fine mesh bag. Squeeze out as much water as possible by hand. Removing excess moisture is crucial for the seasoning to adhere well and create a delicious dish.
Step 5
Transfer the squeezed pickled radish to a mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped scallions, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp sugar, and 1 Tbsp sesame seeds. Gently toss and mix with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Add 1 Tbsp of oligosaccharide (or corn syrup) for a touch of sweetness and gloss. Gently mix again to combine.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and give it a final gentle mix. This completes your delicious seasoned pickled radish. Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its fragrant flavor.
Step 8
Transfer the well-seasoned pickled radish to a serving dish. This dish is delicious with warm rice and is also a fantastic accompaniment to cold rice soup. Enjoy this wonderfully satisfying and ever-so-tasty seasoned pickled radish!
