Pickled radish, called chikin-mu (치킨무, "chicken radish") in Korean, is a radish dish served and eaten with Korean fried chicken. Like other banchan, it is a free (and refillable, if not home-delivered) side dish in South Korea.

Pickled radish in vinegar or salt, pronounced Dan-mu-ji in South Korea, is a banchan commonly served as a side dish in South Korea for its coolness and crunch. It can be divided into two types depending on whether it is served with chicken or jajangmyeon.
