Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1.5 pounds) Daikon radish
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon (sliced) Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and slice it into thin rounds or matchsticks, about 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, erythritol, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the erythritol and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Place the sliced daikon in a clean glass jar or a non-reactive container. Add the garlic cloves, sliced ginger, and red chili flakes over the daikon pieces.
Pour the warm vinegar brine over the daikon until it is fully submerged. Use a spoon to press down the daikon if needed to ensure it's completely covered by the brine.
Seal the jar or container with a lid and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place the pickled daikon in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
Store the pickled daikon in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a low-carb snack or accompaniment to your meals.
