Ingredients

  • 1 pound daikon radish
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the 1 lb daikon radish and cut into thin matchsticks, about 2 inches long. Place in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the 3 green onions, separating white and green parts. Add the white parts to the radish; reserve the green parts for garnish.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the dressing over the radish and toss well to coat every piece. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften slightly and absorb flavor.

  5. 5

    Just before serving, sprinkle with the reserved green onion slices. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

  6. 6

    For extra crunch, add a handful of toasted sesame seeds or a few slices of cucumber if you have them.
