How to Make Overnight Chinese Daikon Radish Pickles
- Wash and peel 1 large daikon radish (about 1 pound). Cut into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks or julienne.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the daikon with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, or until 1-2 tablespoons of water have been drawn out of the daikon.
- Drain the daikon in a fine-mesh sieve, rinsing thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. Press gently to remove as much water as possible.
- Pat the daikon dry with paper towels and return it to the mixing bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional). Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing crunch!
