- Clean radish and cut into the shape of small 1" cubes. – sprinkle with 2-3 tbsp of red pepper flakes (gochugaru 고추가루), mix well to coat evenly and set aside.
- Make the sweet rice powder water by boiling about 1/4 cup water and adding 1 tbsp of rice powder. Let it cool down.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients -- boiled sweet rice powder water, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar, salt and fermented shrimp. Mix well. Add the green onion, threaded dried hot pepper, and roasted sesame seed as the last step and mix again. Taste and sprinkle more salt & sugar if needed.
- Put the mixture in a large jar. You're nearly done! Leave the jar at the room temperature for a day, then move to a cooler location (garage or outside patio) for fermentation. After 3-4 days in moderate weather conditions 40-50 F, store it in the refrigerator.
