The Korean pickled radish side-dish DanMuJi MuChim is a simple daily side dish that you can make in just few minutes. DanMuJi is used in kimbap. It is a sweet and sour pickled radish. Since it already has a sweet, sour, and salty flavor, you don’t need many seasonings for this dish: just some spiciness from red pepper powder and the unique flavor of sesame oil. You can also eat the pickled radish without any other seasonings with jajangmyun, jjambbong, or kimbap.
Yield: 1½ Cups

- ½ Tbsp Liquid from Pickled Radish Pack (Optional)
- 1½ Tbsp Finely Chopped Green Onions
- 1 Tbsp Red Pepper Powder
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- ½ tsp Sesame Seeds
Directions
Slice the half cut pickled radishes into ¼-inch slices. You should get 1½ cups (8 oz) of radish.
In a bowl, combine the pickled radish and all of the other ingredients: ½ Tbsp liquid from the pickled radish pack (optional), 1½ Tbsp finely chopped green onions, 1 Tbsp red pepper powder, 1 tsp sesame oil, and ½ tsp sesame seeds.

Hello, I prefer Aeri’s danmuji recipe much more, because such amount of vinegar that you use in your recipe is just too strong and made me cringe from the sourness. Had to dilute it with a lot of water.
