Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to try making some delicious and crispy Kkakdugi. It’s a recipe that anyone can follow easily, so don’t worry!
Step 2
First, wash the radish thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized cubes that are easy to eat, then place them in a large bowl. You can adjust the size of the radish cubes according to your preference. To ensure a crispy texture, lightly mix the radish with the Korean chili powder first. This will help evenly coat the radish with color, making your Kkakdugi look even more appetizing.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the rest of the seasoning ingredients and mix them well. Add 3 Tbsp sugar, 3 Tbsp vinegar, 3 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp salt, and 3 Tbsp minced garlic. Finely mince or julienne the onion, and chop the green onions. Add them all to the bowl and mix. It’s important to mix everything evenly without crushing the radish pieces.
Step 4
As the well-mixed Kkakdugi sits, it will naturally start to release some liquid. The flavor will deepen as it ferments, and you’ll end up with delicious Kkakdugi that stays crunchy from start to finish. While it’s tasty right away, storing it in the refrigerator for a day or two will allow the flavors to develop even further.
Step 5
Voila! With these simple steps, you’ve made delicious Kkakdugi. It’s a perfect side dish for rice, and it’s also an excellent accompaniment to Seolleongtang or Gukbap. Enjoy your homemade Kkakdugi!
