Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams daikon radish
- 250 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 250 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 grams ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon dried chili flakes
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin slices or matchstick-sized strips, depending on your preference.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Peel a small piece of ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, ensuring the salt is fully dissolved.
While the vinegar mixture is heating, place the sliced daikon, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes into a clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Once the vinegar brine has come to a boil, carefully pour it over the daikon mixture in the jar, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Use a spoon or spatula to tap down the daikon to release air bubbles.
Let the jar cool to room temperature with the lid slightly ajar, then seal the jar and refrigerate.
Allow the daikon to pickle for at least 24 hours before consuming for the best flavor. These pickles can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
