Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Daikon Radish
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 cup White Vinegar
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

Instructions

  • Use a mandoline slicer to achieve uniformly thin slices of daikon and carrot, ensuring even pickling. If you’re using a mandoline, always use the safety guard to protect your fingers!
  • Gently massage the sliced daikon and carrots with salt. This helps to draw out excess moisture and create a crisper pickle. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
  • When making the pickling brine, heat the white vinegar, water, sugar, and salt just until the sugar and salt dissolve. Overcooking can reduce the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Pack the vegetables tightly into the jar to ensure they’re fully submerged in the brine. Use a clean spoon or utensil to press them down.
  • Pour the brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let cool, then seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • After the vegetables have pickled for a day, taste them and adjust the brine if necessary. If they’re too sour, add a little more sugar. If they’re too sweet, add a splash of vinegar.
