    What is the difference between daikon and Korean radish? Can I also use daikon radish in making kaktugi kimchi? Thanks.

      I would also like to know what the difference is between daikon and Korean radish. I can’t find Korean radish in my neighborhood, though there’s plenty of daikon!!

        Korean radish is firmer and sweeter than daikon, so I prefer to use Korean radish for kimchi. However, if Korean radishes are not available around you, why not using daikon?

    Hi Maangchi,
    About the question I asked previously. May I noe if daikon can be eaten raw for salads?or we nid to blanch them 1st? And if we need to blanch them how do we retain the crunchiness of the daikon in the salad?

    Hi Maangchi,
    May I noe if the daikon can be eaten raw cos I noticed that it has been used in some cold salads. Or we need to blanch them before eating?

      yeah, it’s a kind of jangahjji which is a side dish that you can keep for a long time by storing it in the refrigerator. I will post some jangahjji recipe someday in the future!

    I had a beef stew in a korean restaurant in HK that had daikon and carrots. Searching for the recipe! It was delicious and I think my kids would eat it too!

    Aloha from Hawaii! I have been searching for a cold side dish recipe for Korean radish. One of my favorites is either fermented radish with Korean peppers. It is crunchy with a nice kick from the peppers. I assume that there is garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, radish and peppers but I am not sure how much of each to use. Do you have a recipe for a side dish like this? If so, what is the name? I adore it but haven’t had a chance to try and make it at home. As always thanks so much for your assistance and MAHALO (Hawaiian for Thanks!)for providing the wonderful recipes and ingredient lists.
