Stir-Fried Radish Greens: A Perfect Side Dish!
Making a Delicious Side Dish with Seasonal Radishes: Stir-Fried Radish Recipe
I made a side dish with fresh radishes from the market! This is a nutritious and simple stir-fried radish dish that’s great as a rice accompaniment.
Main Ingredients- 1 piece of radish (approx. 300-400g)
- 100ml water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the radish thoroughly, peel it, and then cut it into thin, long julienne strips. Slicing them thinly will help them absorb the seasoning well and cook up tender.
Step 2
Place all the julienned radish into a deep pot or pan.
Step 3
Add 1 Tbsp of perilla oil, 1/2 Tbsp of salt, and about 100ml of water. If you have Dasida (or chicken stock), a tiny pinch will add extra umami, but it’s optional and can be omitted.
Step 4
Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix everything together so that the seasoning is evenly distributed over the radish strips. This step ensures the radish absorbs the flavor uniformly.
Step 5
Now, cover the pot with a lid and start cooking. Begin with high heat.
Step 6
Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently until tender. When you open the lid, you’ll see that the radish has cooked nicely and is tender. It usually takes about 10 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your radish strips and your stove’s heat.
Step 7
Once the radish is tender, finish by drizzling in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and sprinkling a generous amount of sesame seeds. If you like, you can also add black sesame seeds for extra nuttiness and a prettier presentation. Gently mix everything together, and your delicious stir-fried radish is ready! It’s also wonderful served over warm rice.
