Spicy Radish Salad

(Musaengchae)

This Korean spicy radish salad is an easy side dish (banchan) to put together. It can be a quick substitute for kimchi and is great in bibimbap.

Clean the radish by scrubbing with a brush and/or scratching off the stubborn impurities with a small knife. Peel the  skin. Cut into matchsticks.

1

Sprinkle the salt over the radish and toss well to coat evenly. Let sit until the radish has softened and released some liquid. Drain excess liquid. Do not rinse.

2

Add all the remaining ingredients, except the scallion and sesame seeds. Mix well by hand. Taste and add more salt or fish sauce.

3

Throw in the scallion and sesame seeds and toss everything well.

Enjoy!
