    Korean Spicy radish side dish (banchan)--great in bibimbap and as a
    kimchi substitute!

    Clean the radish by scrubbing with a brush and/or scratching off the
    stubborn impurities with a small knife. Peel the skin only if
    necessary. Cut into matchsticks about 1/8 to 1/4" thick.

    Sprinkle the salt over the radish and toss well to coat evenly. Let
    sit for about 20 minutes until the radish has softened and released
    some liquid. Drain excess liquid. Do not rinse.

    Add all the remaining ingredients, except the scallion and sesame
    seeds. Mix well by hand. Taste and add more salt or fish sauce, if
    necessary.

    Throw in the scallion and sesame seeds and toss everything well.

    Notes:

    As a sugar substitute, you can use corn syrup, oligodang, or maesil
    cheong (Korean plum extract).
