Moo Saeng Chae (Marinated Radish Salad)

Ingredients

SALAD

• 1 large crisp apple
• 2 cups white radishes
• 3 green onions

MARINADE

• 3 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons regular sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon salad oil

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
• 3 tablespoons mild rice vinegar
• 1⁄2 red jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped

Steps

1. Prepare marinade and set aside. Note: I cut down the amount of soy sauce from 3 T. to 1 T.- add more if you wish.

2. Peel radishes and cut into matchstick strips.

3. Peel, core and seed apple; cut into matchstick strips. Soak in cold water with a good squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.

4. Slice the spring onions crosswise into thirds then lengthwise cut into thin strips, including both white and green parts.

5. Combine the salad dressing with the radish, well-drained apple strips and green onion.

6. Cover and chill before serving. Best made 1-2 hours in advance to allow to marinate.
