Main Ingredients- 100g dried radish
- 10cm length of green part of scallion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 100g of dried radish.
Step 2
Soak the dried radish in lukewarm water for about 15-20 minutes until it’s well rehydrated. Tip: The soaking time may vary depending on how dry the radish is. If it’s very hard, soak it a bit longer; if it’s already soft, reduce the time.
Step 3
Gently touch the rehydrated radish with your hands to check if there are any hard parts and if it has become soft.
Step 4
Drain the well-soaked radish in a sieve and rinse it thoroughly several times under running water. This step removes any impurities or dirt.
Step 5
Gently squeeze the excess water out of the rinsed radish with both hands. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, as this can make it dry; aim for a moist texture.
Step 6
Wash the scallion, then finely chop the green part, about 10cm in length. Finely chopped scallions will mix well with the radish.
Step 7
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning! In a large bowl, combine 1 tsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp all-purpose soy sauce, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp gochujang, 3 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
Step 8
Mix all the seasoning ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or spoon to create the seasoning paste. You can substitute honey with corn syrup if desired.
Step 9
Add the squeezed dried radish and the finely chopped scallions to the prepared seasoning paste.
Step 10
Gently mix everything together with your hands, massaging the ingredients so the seasoning coats the radish evenly. Ensure the seasoning is well incorporated and not clumpy.
Step 11
Transfer the well-mixed dried radish salad to a nice serving dish. It’s delicious eaten immediately, or you can refrigerate it to enjoy a deeper flavor over time!
