    Hi Maangchi,

    I am absolutely won over by the simplicity of your recipes for Korean dishes! In fact, I am going to try it this weekend!

    Currently, i am trying to make a low-calorie dish for my friend for her upcoming training exercise regime and i realized quite a few dishes require vegetable oil to do some light cooking. So every calorie count =).

    So my question is, is there any alternative i can use besides using oil to do the cooking? If i use soy sauce, would it be ok? But it might change the taste if soy sauce is used in place of the vegetable oil for this dish.

    Thank you for the great recipes again!

      Skip vegetable oil. It will be delicious too.

      Will i still be able to saute the radish even without the vegetable oil? By the way, if i did not remember wrongly you had one page about various ways of cooking soy bean. Am i right? Can’t seem to find it now, appreciate it if you could provide me the link! Thanks!

        Btw, i managed to saute using onions and a bit of water to help stimulate the frying. It is a good alternative for those who want to saute without using any oil.

    Hi hi,
    Can you store this in the fridge? do you have to warm it up before you eat it? Would it be good to eat as side dish with Bi Bim Bap?
    Thank you

      yes, you have to keep it in the fridge. I like cold muwoonamul, so I don’t warm it up.Of course you can add this to your bibimbap.
      Happy cooking!

    Hello Maangchi,

    Do you think it will be good with a sprinkle of hot peppers flakes instead of the hot pepper strips?

    Thanks Amber

    thanks for your comment on my blog, maangchi!

    btw i made muwunamul using your recipe during the same week i made kimchi, but i forgot to comment. the radish that the green grocer sold me was so big that i only used half to make the kimchi… so this recipe was perfect to use up the rest. thank you once again! (:
