Korean white radish, AKA daikon radish is one of the most commonly used ingredients in Korean cuisine. It’s inexpensive, spicy, semi sweet, and crunchy. My mother can literally turn a big white radish into a feast by making several dishes. This radish slaw is one of staple side dishes to serve with meat in Korea. This bright slaw makes a perfect side dish for every occasion.
One of my favorite ways of eating this dish is with bulgogi. You know how some things seem to be a match made in heaven, for example – taters and onions. Well, radish slaw and bulgogi is one of these matches in Korean cuisine.

Gopher’s Tip:

A little extra juice from the radish might come out after it sits awhile. Don’t worry, it will be very tasty even the extra juice will be delicious. I almost like it even better when it’s a day old and all the flavors have blended wonderfully.
You can keep this slaw in the refrigerator for up to 10 days!
