Equipment
1 airtight glass container
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pounds Korean radish, peeled and cut into 3⁄4-inch cubes
- 2 cups sea salt, plus 1 tablespoon
- 5 teaspoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons gochugaru
- 1⁄2 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Instructions
- Put the radish in a large bowl and cover with 2 cups salt. Mix gently to combine. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours. Any water will drain away, collecting at the bottom of the bowl.
- Rinse the radish well with cold water and drain thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, gochugaru, onion, garlic, fish sauce, scallions, ginger, and the remaining 1 tablespoon salt and mix well. Add the radish and toss to coat.
- Transfer the seasoned radish into an airtight glass container (leaving 2 inches at the top), cover, and store at room temperature for at least 24 hours.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Notes
- Radish Selection: Opt for firm, fresh radishes for the best results. Their natural crunchiness will shine through in the final product.
- Balancing Spiciness: The amount of red pepper flakes you add determines the heat level. Start with a moderate amount and adjust to your preference.
- Fermentation Finesse: The magic of Cubed Radish Kimchi lies in fermentation. Be patient and allow the flavors to develop over time. Taste daily to find the sweet spot of tanginess.
