No, this is not a Christmas tree!!! But I love how it mimics a feeling of winter wonderland, though. This is a simple Korean style seaweed salad with radish (파래 무 무침, parae moo muchim). There are several different types of seaweed in Korea. Perhaps most people would know the dried form of seaweeds where you can easily find in many Asian stores. However during the wintertime you might be able to find fresh kind if you are lucky. This particular seaweed is like treads, quite thin. In fact, the thinner is the better.   I won't talk about the health benefit of this amazing sea greens. You can perhaps tell by its color.

They are refreshingly tasty to serve as a simple salad or a side dish. Usually fresh seaweed like this is most common in winter time. So if you happened to see the fresh seaweed in your Korean groceries either in the fresh section or in the freezer section, grab a package and a small radish (or daikon) on your way out. The rest of ingredients for this recipe are something you might already in in your pantry.
