A recipe from Korea

Peel the radish and slice into sticks. Place in a salad bowl, mix in 2 teaspoons of salt, and let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, briefly toast the sesame seeds in a pan without adding any oil until they begin to pop. Let cool slightly on a plate. Finely chop the spring onion. Deseed and finely chop the chili pepper. Drain the brine that has formed in the radish, but do not squeeze the radish. Fill a bowl with a little water and add the juice of one lemon. Peel the apples and slice them into the bowl with the lemon water to prevent them from browning. Immediately drain the lemon water and mix the apples with the radish. Make a marinade from soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and the chili pepper. Mix the radish, apples, and marinade thoroughly. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and refrigerate until ready to serve.
