Spicy Korean Radish Salad

Print Recipe

A tangy and crunchy Spicy Korean Radish Salad bursting with flavor and spice, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400 g Korean radish (approximately 1/2 large Korean radish)
  • 2 tbsp coarse sea salt
  • 2 tbsp organic white sugar
  • 1/4 cup gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp plum syrup
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp vegan fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your radish: Start by peeling your Korean radish. Cut it into thin matchsticks or julienne it.
  2. Salt it up: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced radish along with coarse sea salt. Toss gently and let sit for 20–30 minutes.
  3. Create the flavor base: In a smaller bowl, whisk together sugar, gochugaru, green onions, minced garlic, plum syrup, rice vinegar, cracked black pepper, vegan fish sauce, and sesame oil.
  4. Combine everything: After the radish has released moisture, rinse it under cold water, drain well, and add to the flavor mixture, tossing to coat.
  5. Finish strong: Let the salad sit for about 15 minutes to meld flavors. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

This salad can be made a day ahead. Adjust the spice level by using less gochugaru or sweet chili sauce.
