It's also called 'chicken mu' 치킨 무, which translates to 'chicken radish'. This is because it's almost always served with Korean fried chicken. The sour, vinegary, crunchy radish helps cut through the heaviness of fried chicken.

In Korean cuisine, there are many pickled radish side dishes that all use different varieties of radish. Out of all the radish side dishes, this is one of the easiest ones you can make!

Korean radish has a rounder, shorter shape compared to a daikon radish and the top third or half of the radish is a greenish yellow. Look for one that feels heavy for its size without major blemishes.

Why do I recommend using Korean radish? It has a stronger flavor and crunchier texture than daikon radish. I find it also has slightly less water content than daikon radish which helps it keep its bite in the pickling liquid.

Korean pickled radish is usually served with meals that are deep fried or heavy on meat because the bright, tangy radish lightens up. You can serve this with any of these meals:

Let the radish pickle for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving, though it tastes best after 2 days. I recommend serving it chilled and consuming this within 4 to 5 days.

You can find it in any Korean grocery store and at most Asian grocery stores. Look for one that feels heavy for its size and is not blemished. The top part of the radish should have a green hue.

Yellow pickled radish is the cutest and crunchiest snack in Japan. With just 2 minutes prep time, make your own tasty takuan slices ready to pop into your homemade sushi rolls or eat after a big meal.

Crunchy Korean Pickled Radish

The iconic crispy crunchy texture of these pickles gets us every time, and has to be one of our favourite elements of the cute side dish, aside from it’s flavour of course!

Being able to make this at home in a matter of minutes, while having it last for months in the fridge, makes this the perfect condiment to have on hand for Japanese dishes.

Sweet and tart slices of yellow pickled daikon, known as takuan in Japan and danmuji in Korea, are usually eaten on their own as a side or in dishes like sushi and kimbap. It cuts through spice nicely, or some people also eat a few slices after a main meal to aid in digestion. You can also top a few slices over plain rice, or as an added snack to a bento box.

It’s sometimes referred to as oshinko (pickle made with salt) but can also refer to other pickled vegetables like carrots, cucumbers and eggplant. Some variations include pickling the daikon in salt and rice bran, although we think using vinegar is a lot easier to find as the main pickling ingredient.

Credit for the recipe dates back to the late 1500’s, from a Japanese Zen Buddhist monk by the name of Takuan Soho – where the dish now takes it’s name.

We first saw takuan in slices of fresh sushi (called shinkomaki), whizzing around on a conveyer belt at a restaurant in Osaka. We were immediately intrigued by glowing yellow strips and just had to try it! Chatting with our Osaka mum, Rieko, she mentioned she loves to have a few slices with a cup of tea. We’ll have to try that next!

No need to buy store bought, pickling your own takuan couldn’t be easier! Only 5 ingredients and a few minutes prep, and you’ll have these pickling away in your fridge.

Daikon is from the cabbage family, so once sliced and pickled, it will give off an odour similar to rotten egg, sulphur and fart! This is why we strongly recommend storing in an airtight container. The pickled radish won’t taste like it smells though, and is only obvious when you first open the container.

These pickles are best kept in the fridge, and we don’t recommend freezing them. They have a long shelf life, so this shouldn’t be an issue.

Takuan is a common ingredient in sushi, but works great in a homemade bento box too. Try it alongside freshly cooked rice or an onigiri rice ball, Japanese potato salad and kinpira gobo stir fry. It’s common in Japan to enjoy takuan alongside a serve of agedashi tofu and miso soup as a delicious lunch set.

Jangajji (korean Soy Sauce Pickled Vegetables And Chiles) Recipe

This quick recipe for Asian pickled radishes is super easy to whip up and eat by the end of the day. You don’t even need to boil anything!

Radishes have been in Korea since the Three Kingdoms Era (57 BCE–668 CE), and come from East Asia. Mu means “radish” in Korean but generally refers to the specific type of Korean daikon radish. It’s known for its half-white and half-light green coloring along with its rounder and stockier shape. They have a very juicy and crunchy texture and taste slightly sweet with a light peppery flavor.

If you’ve ever had to Korean BBQ at home or restaurant, then you must know about the various types of banchan (or side dishes) available that are free and typically refilled at no cost. Some of the most popular pickled radishes are thin pickled radishes (ssammu) meant for ssam dishes or kkakdugi, a type of kimchi radish dish. One of my favorite banchan is Korean pickled radishes.

Now there are plenty of different varieties, each flavorful and fresh on its own, but one of my favorite types is chicken-mu. And it’s typically served with crispy Korean fried chicken–this is most likely where the name “chicken-mu” comes from.

This recipe is a quick pickle dish, but if you don’t have time to make chicken-mu, you can always buy some at your local Korean grocery store like H-Mart or at a restaurant. My favorite places to eat chicken-mu, along with Korean fried chicken, are Pelicana and Bonchon.

These Asian pickled radishes have similar ingredients to other types of pickles like Vietnamese đồ chua and Filipino atchara, where the main ingredients other than the vegetables are vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. It’s a very simple combo of ingredients, but it’s anything but boring.

You can also experiment with substituting the vinegar for apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar based on your preference or current ingredient situation at home–although this will give you less of an acidic flavor.

For the actual daikon itself, you want to make sure you pick the right variety of daikon radish since there are so many varieties. This recipe specifically calls for Korean daikon radish.

You can tell at the store because they are round and stockier than the long and skinny Japanese daikon radish. Korean daikon radish is also half green and half white in coloring, while Japanese daikon radish is all white.

Traditionally, these pickles have an easy to remember 1:1:1 ratio for sugar, water, and vinegar. You don’t have to follow this ratio, but it’s a great place to start then adjust based on your personal
