Today, we’ll guide you step-by-step through creating this delightful wrap dish using vibrant bell peppers, fresh bean sprouts, and tangy pickled radish sheets.
Ingredients for Radish Wraps- 20 sheets of pickled radish (Ssammu)
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 50g bean sprouts
- 200g sliced smoked duck
Dipping Sauce- 2 Tbsp mustard sauce
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 Tbsp mustard sauce
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently rinse the fresh bean sprouts under running water. Then, briefly rinse the pickled radish sheets (Ssammu) under cold water. This light rinse helps to mellow the inherent sourness of the pickled radish, which can be quite strong, leading to a more balanced overall flavor. This is a common practice when using store-bought pickled radish or pickled daikon radish.
Step 2
Next, prepare the bell peppers by slicing them into thin julienne strips. These will add vibrant color and a pleasant crunch to your wraps. As you can see, this recipe is incredibly simple – just prepare the ingredients and roll them up! Now, let’s move on to making the delicious dipping sauce to accompany your wraps.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of mustard sauce, 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Whisk everything together until well combined to create your dipping sauce. For an extra kick, you can add a small amount of hot mustard to adjust the spiciness to your preference.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the smoked duck, which adds a savory element to the wraps. Lightly pan-fry the smoked duck slices until they are heated through and slightly crisped. If your smoked duck slices are quite large, consider cutting them in half before cooking. This makes them easier to roll into the wraps and more convenient to eat in single bites. Aim for a size that’s easy to handle and roll neatly.
Step 5
Time to assemble the wraps! Place a pickled radish sheet on a clean surface. Arrange a portion of bean sprouts, julienned bell peppers, and cooked smoked duck in the center. Positioning the bean sprouts slightly towards the front can create a beautiful green peek when the wrap is rolled, enhancing its visual appeal. Fold the left and right sides of the pickled radish sheet slightly inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. The thinness of the radish sheet usually helps it stay rolled on its own. If you’ve added a generous amount of filling and want extra security, you can tie the wrap with blanched chives or scallions.
Step 6
These Smoked Duck Radish Wraps are not only nutritious due to the fresh vegetables but also wonderfully refreshing, especially during hot summer days when you crave something light and palate-cleansing. They are visually stunning and delicious, making them an excellent choice for entertaining guests. We highly recommend trying this easy-to-make wrap dish and creating your own favorite dipping sauce!
