Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Daikon radish
- 120 ml White vinegar
- 120 ml Water
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 1 clove Garlic clove (optional)
- 1 piece Red chili (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and slice it into matchsticks or thin rounds, depending on your preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.
If using optional ingredients, slice the garlic clove thinly and cut the red chili into small pieces.
Place the daikon slices into a clean glass jar or container. Add the garlic and chili, if using, for additional flavor.
Pour the slightly cooled brine over the daikon, ensuring the radish pieces are fully submerged.
Cover the jar or container with a lid and let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator.
Allow the pickles to marinate for at least 2 hours before serving, though they taste better after a day of marination.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a refreshing side or condiment!
