- 2 stalks scallions
Dressing Ingredients
- 1 - 2 Tablespoon Korean red pepper flakes depending on your spice preference
- ⅔ Tablespoon sugar
- 1½ teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 1½ teaspoon fish sauce can substitute with soy sauce or extra salt
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
Instructions

- Add in the ingredients for the dressing and massage it into the julienned radish until it's well combined. Adjust for seasoning and serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. The longer it sits, the more juices will be released from the radish.
- You can substitute daikon for Korean radish in this recipe.
- Choosing a Korean radish:
- Pick one that has a smooth, blemish free surface without any cracks. It should feel heavy for its size. They can be a light green color starting at the tops going halfway down the radish.
