Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi)

When kimchi was not available at supermarkets (about 25 years ago) I was taught how to make these pickles by a Japanese-Korean friend. Using juicy winter daikon radish, I could make tasty kkakduki.
Compared to Japanese chili, Korean chili is sweeter. Usually kkakduki is made with finely powdered chili. You can use it for making hot pots or other dishes, so freeze it until needed. Recipe by kebeibiko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
[Prep the daikon radish] Peel the daikon radish and cut into 2 cm cubes. Put in a plastic bag and mix evenly with 2 tablespoons of salt. Let sit for 1 to 2 hours. The daikon radish will release a lot of water...
- 2
Occasionally rub the daikon from outside the bag. Thoroughly drain the daikon in a colander (let sit for about 30 minutes. In Step 4 photo, you can see that 350 ml of water drained from the daikon on the left-hand side).
- 3
[Prepping the sauce] Grate the apple. Cut the Japanese leek in half lengthways first and slice thinly and diagonally. Cut the Chinese celery into 3 cm widths. Put all the sauce ingredients into a bowl and combine.
- 4
After the red colour from the chill is evenly distributed, add the daikon. Stir well (if your skin is sensitive, use gloves).
- 5
Pour the mixture into a storage container and chill in the fridge. You can eat it the following day. After 1 week to 10 days, the flavour will become well rounded. It will not be tart.

Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi) Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi)
I made this at my daughter's request.Since the spice of red chili powder varies depending on the type, be sure to check the taste while seasoning. The yangnyeom from Step 14 is enough for 3-4 daikon radishes worth of kkakdugi. Store the leftover yangnyeom in the freezer, then the next time you make kkakdugi, all you have to do is pickle the daikon. Recipe by kanako8224 cookpad.japan -

Adjust the Cayenne to your heat level.I eat this with rice dishes, and not just Korean rice dishes.You can sub turnips for the Korean radish.
