If you feel that it doesn't work once, you can take a break and try it a few more times. Then, put the prepared dried radish into a clean jar and tie the mouth tightly with a bag. Leave it for about four or five days before you can open the jar and eat it.

Add chili powder and five-spice powder to the dried radish and continue kneading until the seasoning is even. Collect the dried radish in an airtight container and marinate at room temperature for half a month. When eating, soak it with balsamic vinegar and add sesame oil.

Ingredients: One radish, a little salt, and some five-spice powder.
Wash and drain the radish, without removing the skin. Use a steel wool ball to rub the top layer of the radish a few times on the dirty areas that cannot be washed clean. Cut the radish into thin strips about one inch long and lay them flat in a bamboo basket in a ventilated place to dry for about 3 days. Sprinkle the semi-dried radish strips with salt and some five-spice powder and rub vigorously until the water comes out slightly and the five-spice powder evenly coats the surface of the dried radish. Stuff the dried radish into the glass bottle tightly. Drain the water from the dried radish every day for the next few days. Store in a sealed refrigerator.
