Besides the Radish Salad, Minnie also prepared a Green Salad, which is not a Korean salad.

The Green Salad dressing is made up of olive oil, white wine vinegar, sugar and some salad seasoning which is a dry mixture of herbs.

Minnie served her dishes with a Korean rice. She used a mixture of white rice and black rice and an assortment of beans. The beans were soaked in water, overnight. The rice is cooked in a Korean pressure rice cooker. The rice came out to be quite sticky.
