Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large daikon radish
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Whole30 compliant fish sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin rounds or matchsticks, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Place the sliced daikon into a clean glass jar with a lid, large enough to hold the daikon and the pickling liquid.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt. Crush the garlic cloves slightly and add them to the pan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the salt is dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Whole30 compliant fish sauce and crushed red pepper flakes.
Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the daikon slices in the glass jar, ensuring all slices are submerged.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Once cooled, seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate 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 tangy side dish or salad topping.
