Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Daikon radish
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and slice it into thin rounds or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sliced daikon in a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss well to ensure all pieces are coated with salt.
Let the salted daikon sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, turmeric powder, and red chili flakes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Remove the pickling liquid from heat and let it cool slightly.
Rinse the daikon pieces under cold water to remove excess salt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Pack the daikon radish pieces into a clean glass jar or a heat-proof container.
Pour the warm pickling liquid over the daikon slices, ensuring they are completely submerged.
Allow the pickles to cool to room temperature, then cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
The pickled daikon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a side dish or as a flavorful addition to salads and sandwiches.
