Editors Review
Pickle radish is the Korean Equivalent to American coleslaw or corn salad to serve with fried chicken! Whenever we order fried chicken in Korea, this pickled radish comes along with it. Usually the amount they give isn’t enough. So it is great to make extra picked radish at home, or if you make Korean fried chicken at home, you can make this picked radish too and serve it along with it. It not only tastes good with Korean fried chicken, but is great with any fried food.Chef
