White radish pickles

I like to eat kimchi recently. If there are some side dishes, I will eat it smoothly. Otherwise, I feel that it is not enough. Maybe the radish is out of season. I have eaten a lot of radishes recently. The other day, when I was pickling spicy cabbage, I suddenly wanted to pickle some radishes. So I made them together. Some people say that making Korean kimchi is troublesome. In fact, if you do it often, you will become good at it quickly. Practice makes perfect, just like northerners make dumplings. It seems really troublesome to us, and it is not as fast as cooking, but they don’t find it annoying at all.

How to make pickled white radish

1. Wash the white radish and cut it into small thick pieces with the skin on. Marinate it with salt for ten hours or overnight to let the water drain out. Then wash it with cold boiled water and drain the water.

2. Use a meat stirrer to crush the ginger and garlic. Crush half a pear as well. Slice half a scallion, add Korean chili powder/fish sauce/Korean chili sauce/shrimp paste/appropriate amount of sugar/appropriate amount of sesame oil, mix well and add to the radish.

3. Mix well and put it in a sealed glass box and refrigerate it overnight before eating. The longer it is marinated, the more flavorful it will be. It tastes best after two or three days. Sesame oil cannot be stored for a long time. So don't make too much at a time.

Tips:

I actually used some of the seasoning for making kimchi to pickle radish. You can make several kinds of kimchi each time, not just one kind. A small amount means more varieties. It can also save some time. Korean chili powder and chili sauce are not very spicy. If you use domestic chili powder, don't be too spicy.
