How to Make Daikon Pickles 2

  1. Using a mandoline slicer (or sharp knife), thinly slice 1 pound of daikon radish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced daikon with 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional: 1-2 small jalapeños, thinly sliced).
  3. Gently toss to ensure all the daikon slices are evenly coated with the marinade.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Press down gently to submerge the daikon in the liquid.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld. The pickles will continue to develop in flavor over several days. Enjoy!
  6. Serve as a side dish with Asian-inspired meals, add to sandwiches or salads, or use as a flavorful garnish.
