Mu Jorim is a delightful Korean side dish featuring braised Korean radish that is tender and infused with a savory-sweet sauce. This dish is not only delicious but also a great way to enjoy the unique flavor of Korean radish in a healthy preparation.

Ingredients

• Korean radish (Mu) - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Water - 150 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onion - 1 stalk, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Peel the Korean radish and cut it into half-inch cubes.
2. In a pot, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to create the braising sauce.
3. Add the cubed radish to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the radish is tender.
