Danmuji(pickled radish)

Danmuji (pickled radish) is crunchy, sweet, and tangy, making it a perfect pairing with kimbap. It’s also a great side dish for jjamppong and jjajangmyeon.

In Korea, danmuji comes in various shapes, but it’s typically divided into kimbap-sized strips and block-shaped pieces (ijeol danmuji). While the taste is the same, if you can’t find kimbap-sized danmuji, you can buy ijeol danmuji and cut it into strips for kimbap—it’s a bit of extra work, but it works just fine.

In Germany, Chung Jung One and Ha Sun Jung brands are commonly available.
