Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Slice the cucumber and radish lengthwise into long thin sheets with a peeler.
Make sugar water and soak the radish until it bends easily, then rinse.
Cut the carrot, red chili pepper, and bell pepper into thin strips 5 cm long.
Blanch the water dropwort, cool it, and tear it into single strands.
Layer the cucumber and radish, put the julienned ingredients on top, roll up, and tie with the blanched water dropwort.
Grate the pear and mix with water, vinegar, and gochugaru to make the seasoned liquid, then add step 5 and let it marinate.

💡 TipThe ingredients are not salted but cut thin, which reduces the added sodium.
