Ingredients
- 300 grams Daikon radish
- 200 grams Red radishes
- 20 grams Fresh ginger
- 240 milliliters White vinegar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces, approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in length.
Step 2
Wash and trim the red radishes, then slice them into thin rounds.
Step 3
Peel the ginger and julienne it into thin strips.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.
Step 5
Place the prepared daikon radish, red radishes, and ginger into a clean glass jar or container. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add the red chili flakes on top.
Step 6
Pour the warm brine over the vegetables, ensuring that everything is fully submerged. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 7
Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though the flavors will develop more fully after 24 hours.
Step 8
Serve the pickled vegetables as a condiment, side dish, or topping. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
