Let's learn how to make delicious mumallaengi-muchim today! It's a Korean banchan (side dish) that's very common in a Korean doshirak (lunch box). The main ingredient is mumallaengi - Korean white radishes, cut into pices 3-4 inch long and 1/4 inch thick and dried in the sun. You can buy packaged mumallaengi in Korean grocery stores.

A few tips for this banchan: don't soak it in water too long, because the radish will lose it's delicious flavor. 7 to 8 minutes is perfect. Don't forget to wash and rinse the radish a couple of times to remove any remaining dirt and to make the radish a little softer.
