    And it’s delicious. Often served as a banchan whenever you’re eating out.

  2. 단무지 or danmuji. Came into korean cuisine via Japan. Japanese name is Dakuan. It is pickled daikon radish.

    It’s the reason my fridge ends up smelling funky. I love to make batches of it.

    Some foods are so rich, having a vinegary type of side, helps cut the richness.

    The flavor balance is highly underrated in Korean cooking. Rice is somewhat bland, but with banchan, it becomes this beautiful melody!

  5. Hawai’i people call it takuwon and it’s delicious!

    Pickled daikon. You can make it yourself by putting a length of peeled daikon into a container of 1 part cooled boiled water, 1 part vinegar, the amount of sugar or sweetener you prefer, pinch of salt and a tiny amount of turmeric for the yellow colour. The best type of daikon to use is one that is a bit wrinkled or dried out so it will absorb as much brine as possible.
