Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss diced radish with rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and chili flakes; set aside to pickle while you cook.

  4. Step 4

    Cook 5–6 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown and crispy without stirring.

  5. Step 5

    Slice onion into thin rings. Serve dumplings hot with pickled radish and raw onion on the side.
