Pour over the noodles and radish, gently tossing to thoroughly mix. 4) Place on a large serving platter and garnish with the egg strips.

A Korean Radish is a white root vegetable from 3 to 10 inches long used in some kimchis and side dishes. Purchase with their leaves intact (the leaves are good in salads). The daikon is not as crunchy as the Korean radish but can be substituted.
