Cubed Radish Kimchi

(Kkakdugi)

Kkakdugi is a kimchi made with Korean radish, mu (or moo). It’s an easy kimchi to make! 

Clean the radishes. Peel the skin only if necessary. Cut into 1-inch thick discs, and then cut each disc into 1-inch cubes, placing in a large bowl.

1

Sprinkle the salt over the radishes and toss well to coat evenly. Let sit until the radish cubes have softened and released some liquid.

2

Prepare the seasoning ingredients. Mix everything well. Set it aside for a while for the red pepper flakes to dissolve a little and become pasty.

3

Drain the radishes in a colander and discard the liquid. Do NOT rinse. Rinsing will wash the flavor away.

4

Place the radishes back in the bowl. Add the seasoning mix and scallions.

5

Mix everything well, preferably by hand, until the radish cubes are evenly coated.

6

Store in an airtight container or jar. Before closing the lid, press the kkakdugi down hard with your hand to remove air pockets between the radish cubes.

7

Enjoy!
