Korean Radish Kimchi - Kkakdugi

I'm going to share the easiest kimchi recipe - kkakdugi made with Korean radish!
Korean radish is different than daikon. You can find it at a Korean grocery market, but you can use daikon instead of Korean radish - Korean radish is oval shape with green tip, firm, crunchy texture and sweeter and whiter than daikon.

My quick and easy radish kimchi recipe is a good side dish that is easier to make than traditional kimchi. And it's a delicious, spicy and crunchy side dish with steamed rice. So I make it often.
FYI, 
there are many different kinds of kimchi in Korea such as cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, green onion kimchi. Radish kimchi is also one of the easiest to make and most popular kimchi.

Ingredients

1                           medium size Korean radish (about 2 lb)
1/2                        medium apple
2                            green onions
1 T                         brown sugar

Kimchi Sauce
3 T                        fish sauce
3-4 T                      Korean chili pepper powder
1/2 T                      coarse salt
1/2 T                      minced garlic

Directions

Rinse and cut green onions into 1 1/2 inch pieces.
Grind apple.
Mix kimchi sauce all together and add apple and green onions. 
Rinse, peel and cut Korean radish into 3/4 cubes.
Pour sauce over the radish and mix well.
Finally, add brown sugar and mix well.
Store in an air tight container at room temperature 1 day and keep in the refrigerator for 6-7 days
Enjoy!
