Ingredients: 1kg Korean radish or daikon (washed and peeled) 3 spring onions (washed and cut into 2 cm lengths) 2 tbsp raw sugar 2 tbsp rock salt Kimchi Base ½ small brown onion (chopped into small pieces) ½ small red apple (seeds and core removed, cut into small pieces) 3 tbsp eck jut (Korean fish sauce) 1 tbsp minced garlic ½ tbsp minced ginger 4 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chilli flakes) ¼ cup water 1 tbsp rice flour Instructions: 1. Cut radish into 2cm cubes and place in a large bowl. Add salt and sugar and mix well. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hr. 2. To make the kimchi base, blend together the brown onion, red apple and the fish sauce. 3. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the water and rice flour together. Microwave for 1 min, or until the mixture is similar to a mildly runny porridge in texture. Then in a medium-sized bowl, combine the two mixtures along with the minced garlic and ginger. 4. Return back to the radish after sitting for 1 hr. Rinse the radish in a colander under cold water for a couple of times, leave for a few mins to drain any excess water. 5. In a large mixing bowl, add the radish and mix through 2 tbsp of Korean chili flakes. Add in the chopped spring onions and the prepared kimchi base. Stir through and mix well. 6.
