Main Ingredients & Seasonings- 1/2 Korean radish (approx. 580g)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 100ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare half a Korean radish (about 580g). It’s recommended to use the middle to upper parts of the radish, as they tend to be sweeter.
Step 2
Peel the prepared radish thoroughly using a vegetable peeler. While you can leave the skin on, peeling it results in a cleaner appearance.
Step 3
Slice the peeled radish into uniform pieces, about 0.5 cm thick. Uniform thickness ensures even cooking.
Step 4
Julienne the sliced radish into thin strips, similar to how you would cut for ‘mu-saengchae’ (radish salad). The thinner the strips, the better they absorb seasoning.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, followed by 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
Step 6
Sauté the minced garlic over medium-low heat until fragrant and lightly golden brown. This step enhances the overall flavor profile.
Step 7
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the julienned radish to the pan. Stir-fry until the radish becomes slightly translucent and tender, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid high heat to prevent burning.
Step 8
When the radish is partially cooked, pour in 100ml of water. This helps to steam the radish and prevent it from sticking or burning.
Step 9
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of tuna extract, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir everything well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the radish. Tuna extract adds a pleasant umami flavor.
Step 10
Cover the pan with a lid and cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. At this stage, the radish will have a slightly firm texture.
Step 11
After 3 minutes, remove the lid, stir the radish gently, and then cover again to cook for another 3 minutes. If you prefer a softer texture, you can extend this cooking time slightly.
Step 12
Finally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds and mix well. Your delicious stir-fried radish greens are ready!
Step 13
Enjoy your perfectly cooked, soft, and savory radish side dish, enhanced with fragrant sesame oil and nutty toasted sesame seeds!
