단무지 무침, DanMuJi MuChim
Posted by Aeri Lee on March 27, 2010
The Korean pickled radish side-dish DanMuJi MuChim is a simple daily side dish that you can make in just few minutes. DanMuJi is used in kimbap. It is a sweet and sour pickled radish. Since it already has a sweet, sour, and salty flavor, you don’t need many seasonings for this dish: just some spiciness from red pepper powder and the unique flavor of sesame oil. You can also eat the pickled radish without any other seasonings with jajangmyun, jjambbong, or kimbap.
Yield: 1½ Cups
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- BahJi (바지) = Pants
- ChiMa (치마) = Skirt

It was amazing to get so many requests for extra soft tofu soup, soondubu jjigae. This proves that many people in the world like this soup. The broth is spicy and matches great with the extra soft tofu. With the same basic seasonings used in this soup, you can make a different variety such as beef or clam. You can also put both in as I did in this recipe. The kimchi is optional. I’m very happy with this recipe, so I hope you like this too.
Yield: 2 Servings

- SaRangHaeYo (사랑해요) = I love you.
