Korean Spicy Radish Salad (Banchan)

Korean Spicy Radish Salad (Banchan), Musaengchae 무생채, is a simple and refreshing dish made from Korean radish and a blend of spices. This dish is probably one of the most common banchan in Korea outside of kimchi due to its simplicity and readily available primary ingredient. Enjoy this banchan any time of the year but eat it quickly as it only keeps fresh for a week, albeit the best flavors come out after marinating for at least one day.
