This simple dish serves as a cool, refreshing break from spicier foods. You'll almost always see some version at a Korean meal. It's traditionally made with moo (sweet Korean radish), but daikon radish is more readily available and makes a fine substitute. Salting the daikon helps extract some of its bitterness.
Ingredients
200 Gms Carrot
200 Gms Carrot
200 Gms Daikon Radish
½ Tsp Salt
60 ml rice vinegar
2-3 Green Onions
2 Tsp Sugar
Sesame Oil to Taste
Method
- Place the rice vinegar, sugar and 330ml water into a pan and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils allow to cool to room temperature.
- Slice the radish and carrot into 1” pieces and place it in a sieve. Finely Chop the green onions.
- Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and allow it to stand for at least 30 minutes. This will draw some of the liquid out of the vegetables. Place the sieve over a bowl to catch the drips.
- Rinse the vegetables under cold water to remove the salt and squeeze dry in a clean towel.
- Place the vegetables in a clean bowl and pour over the vinegar solution, sesame oil and allow it to stand for at least one hour before serving.
- To serve remove the pickled vegetables from the vinegar. Any extra can be left in the liquid and stored in a sealed container in the fridge for around 3 days.
