This quick radish kimchi is made from diced Korean radish( a little different from daikon radish). It is very common kind of kimchi and very simple to make. This kimchi is meant to be eaten fairly short period of time not like Napa Cabbage Kimchi made in the traditional way. I used Coconut Aminos( vegan version) in a place of Fish Sauce( non-vegan version)

Ingredients
3 pounds Korean radish or daikon
2 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp sugar, Optional
¼ cup Coconut Aminos, start with, add up to 2/3 cup, If you are not making vegetarian version, feel free to use fish sauce
½ cup Korean hot pepper flakes, gochugaru, starts with and add up to 1, Spicy levels of different hot pepper flakes are different
4 stalks green onions
chopped or Korean Chive, Buch
2 Tbsp (5 cloves) garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ginger, minced, 1 inch long
0.5 onion, medium, pureed or grated
0.25 (2 Tbsp) apple or Korean Pear, pureed, optional, you can replace this with sugar or Korean Beksul All Purpose Plum Extract Syrup
¼ cup sweet rice flour cooked with 1 cup water
Roasted Sesame Seeds to taste
cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
Step 1
Peel Korean radish, rinse in cold water and pat dry.
Step 2
Cut it into ¾ to 1 inch cubes. Put into a large bowl.
Step 3
Add kosher salt and sugar, and toss to mix well. Set it aside for 30 mins.
Step 4
Using a food processor( or grater), mince and puree onion, ginger, onion, and apple( or Asian pear)
Step 5
Making Kimchi Paste- In another bowl, add cooled rice porridge, coconut aminos( or fish sauce), hot pepper flakes, minced/pureed ginger, garlic, apple/pear, and onion, and some cracked black pepper. Mix well and set it aside to get hot pepper flakes to be hydrated fully.
Step 6
Do not rinse radish. Drain the juice from the radish to prevent your radish kimchi become too runny.
Step 7
Add cut green onion or chive pieces, Kimchi paste, and roasted sesame seeds to the bowl of cubed radish pieces. Mix well.
Step 8
Put the kimchi into an air-tight sealed plastic container or glass jar. Fill up only 80 % so it would not overflow later.
