I had a question about a side dish which i like a lot. It’s really thin slices of dikon into rounds and they’re pickled. I think it’s like this cambodian pickle dikon we make, but it dont smell like dikon just the vinegar. I’m not sure how to make it. I was wondering if you knew how to make it.
thanks!
ps. love your recipes

Since cooking is my very best hobby, I would like to share some that I may know . One best that I like is Korean food. I have tried some for which I did them successfully and even serve them during parties and gatherings This latest one from your recipe, I did made and the kids love it so much. I made some pork bbq and made the cooked radish as side dish. I don’t have to make separate dippings. Our meal just did finished satisfyingly!
” … kids love it so much..” Great news! Happy cooking!
I was planning to make musaengchae and ran across this recipe. Yum! I’m glad I tried it–so few ingredients, but very tasty.
Yes, when the radish is cooked, the taste turns sweet and gives a good flavor. It’s non spicy and soft, so it will be a good side dish for young children.
I LOOOOOVE cooked radish.. I’m assuming it’s the same taste as a Chinese radish… gonna do this :)
Thanks
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!
Hi Maangchi!
How long can this last in the fridge?
Thank you!
Oh, this looks lovely! Like someone else I made kimchi but had some radish left over. Thanks!
yes, this is my favorite recipe! I feel like eating it now! lol, no radish at home though.
Hello Maangchi,
Do you think it will be good with a sprinkle of hot peppers flakes instead of the hot pepper strips?
Thanks Amber
If you want, you could use hot pepper flakes!
I made this today and it was soooo good!
Yeah, muwoonamul (cooked radish side dish) is very easy to make and delicious.
I made it and it was good…
Jenny,
Thank you!
mina,
yes, you will love this vegetable dish.
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! (:
Simple and yummy :]
