This recipe shows you how to make a delightfully sweet and nutty pickled radish salad (danmuji muchim) using readily available danmuji (Korean yellow pickled radish). It’s a simple yet incredibly flavorful side dish.
Main Ingredients- 1 pack Danmuji (approx. 200-250g)
Seasoning- 1/2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1 pack of danmuji (about 200-250g). Lightly drain any excess liquid from the danmuji, then cut each piece in half. Cutting them in half will help the seasoning absorb better and make them easier to eat.
Step 2
Add 1/2 tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the cut danmuji for a touch of spice. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 3
Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to enhance the nutty flavor. For an even richer taste, you can lightly crush the sesame seeds before adding them.
Step 4
Finally, drizzle in 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Gently mix everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the danmuji. Your delicious salad is now complete! It’s great to enjoy immediately, or let it sit for a bit to allow the flavors to meld even further.
