• Sea salt
• Red pepper powder

• Chopped garlic
• Ginger powder or fresh ginger, minced
• Sesame seeds
• Green onions

Instructions

• Slice the radish into fine strips.
• Put some coarse sea salt into the radish and set it aside till it gets soft

• Squeeze the water out of radish.
• Put some red pepper powder into the radish and mix until it gets red.
• Add sugar, garlic and ginger to taste, mix well
• Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

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.
