Tasting Notes

Preparation and Use
It can be cut up into small cubes or chopped julienne and pickled in a brine. If you puree the radish and strain the juice from the pulp, the radish juice makes an excellent addition to a kalbi (Korean beef ribs) or bulgogi (Korean grilled beef) marinade. 
Cleaning: Scrub the outside with a brush to get excess dirt off. You can use a regular potato peeler to remove the outside skin.
