In a large bowl, combine the julienned daikon, carrots, and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and gochujang (Korean chili paste). Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred level of spiciness.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy as part of a larger Korean meal!
