Let’s make a delicious radish salad using refreshing dongchimi radishes. This dish is both cooling and appetizing.
Main Ingredients- 1 Dongchimi radish
- 1 handful of dongchimi radish greens (optional)
- 2-3 green onions (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make a ‘Dongchimi Radish Salad,’ which is wonderfully crispy and refreshing. It’s simple yet tastes special, so you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again.
Step 2
First, wash and prepare the dongchimi radish. Thinly julienne the radish into bite-sized pieces. If you have any radish greens or green onions that were pickled with the dongchimi, chop them nicely to include as well. Next, gently squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the julienned radish, radish greens, and green onions. This step is crucial for maintaining the salad’s crispness.
Step 3
Place the squeezed ingredients in a bowl. Add the gochugaru (Korean chili powder) and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Don’t worry if the color seems light at first; it will deepen as you mix.
Step 4
Now, add the oligodang (or sugar) for a touch of sweetness and the toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma. Toss lightly again to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as this can release too much water. And there you have it – a delicious dongchimi radish salad is complete!
