Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams daikon radish
- 250 milliliters water
- 250 milliliters white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
Instructions
Wash and peel the daikon radish. Slice it into thin rounds or julienne strips about 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, white wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, and sea salt. Lightly crush the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and add them to the saucepan.
Add the bay leaf, black peppercorns, and coriander seeds to the mixture.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and salt completely.
Once the brine is boiling, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Place the sliced daikon into a clean, heatproof glass jar or container. Pour the warm brine over the daikon slices, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Allow the pickles to cool to room temperature, then seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate.
For best flavor, let the daikon pickle for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
Store the pickled daikon in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
