What is Korean Pickled Radish Wrap?

This Korean dish is called mussammari (무쌈말이), and it’s a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. It’s made with pickled radishes, vegetables, and meat of your choice, all wrapped in a thin sheet of pickled radishes. It’s great as a party finger food. It has a nice crunchy texture and is slightly sweet and spicy.

This dish is perfect for a housewarming party or potluck because it can be served with savory dishes and is relatively easy to make. Plus, it doesn’t need a lot of oven or stove space. But the most important thing is that it looks beautiful on the table, so that your guests will want to try it!

My best tips

• For best results, use a pickled wide-base radish paper (ssam-mu) to comfortably wrap your ingredients. If you have a small sheet of radish paper, try adjusting the amount of ingredients you pack or keep the ingredients smaller. But one thing to keep in mind is that small radish paper can make wrapping the vegetables difficult.

• When making the wrap you have the option to tie it with green fibrous vegetables (e.g. chives, garlic chives, water drops) or skip that step and just fold it in half. The deciding factor should be based on your availability, as wrapping the wrap takes more time, and also your preference in presentation. In my opinion, both methods look good.

• If you have trouble tying the knot (this is usually the case if the string is too short), you may need a helping hand to tie the wraps.

• It is definitely more convenient to use store bought pickled radish paper as it will save you time. However, it is much easier to control the taste when using homemade radish paper.

  Some brands of ssam-mu have a more sour and spicy taste than others. If the radish is too spicy, it may overpower the flavor of the other ingredients in the wrap. If the radish is too sour, rinsing it with water may help.

How to get ahead?

Option 1)

Prepare all the necessary ingredients and store them in an airtight container until you need them. The radish wraps can be made to your liking and can even be used as a DIY option for extra fun for your guests.

Option 2)

You can assemble the radish wraps in advance and serve later, preferably on the same day. In this case, it is better to tie the wrap with green, fibrous vegetables, as this will keep the ingredients intact.

How do you make pickled radish wrap?

1. In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients together. Finally, add the rice vinegar, otherwise the mustard sauce will separate.

3. Place the pickled radish on a mounting plate or shelf. Place a small portion of each prepared ingredient – ​​e.g. bell peppers / paprika, carrots, crab sticks, ham / salami and radish sprouts on the radish paper. Gently fold the radish in half to make a crescent-shaped wrap.
