Pickled Radish (치킨 무, Chicken Mu)
The Korean pickled radish is commonly served with Korean Fried Chicken. These crunchy, sweet, and refreshing cubes really taste great as a complement to any fried dish. And the great news is, these are very easy to make at home! These also taste great as a side dish (banchan) with rice, particularly when they are julienned. I know I particularly love this side dish with a spicy stew or meat! Quick Notes: ⏲ <1 hr 🇰🇷 Some ingredients may need to be bought at a Korean grocery
Spicy Pickled Cucumber (오이소박이, Oh-E-Sobak-i)
Spicy Pickled Cucumbers (Cucumber Kimchi), is one of my favorite “banchan”, or side dishes. Crunchy, fresh, and spicy, this dish is ready to eat as soon as you are done making it. You can let it ferment for a few days in the fridge if you wish for more of a “kimchi” taste. This recipe calls for Kirby, or pickling, cucumbers. Try to choose firm, uniform, straight cucumbers. Avoid the largest cucumbers in the batch, as those tend to have the most seeds and are not as crisp. Qui
