How to Make Musangchae Daikon White Radish Salad Like Korean Radish Kimc

  1. Peel the daikon radish and use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to julienne it into thin strips (about 1/8 inch thick).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the julienned daikon radish with the gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Gently toss to coat the radish evenly.
  3. Add the sugar, salt, thinly sliced green onions, and minced garlic to the bowl. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Drizzle the rice vinegar (or white vinegar) over the radish mixture. Gently toss to ensure all the radish pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You may want to add more sugar for sweetness, salt for saltiness, vinegar for tartness, or gochugaru for spiciness.
  6. Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop and the radish to chill. This will enhance the overall taste and texture.
  7. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish with Korean BBQ, grilled meats, or enjoy it on its own!
