Quick Pickled Daikon Radish

A fun and easy snack to make.

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 2 MinTotal time: 17 Min

Ingredients

• 1 Bunch Daikon Radish
• 3/4 Cup Filtered or Spring Water
• 3/4 Cup White or Rice Vinegar
• 1 Tsp. Fine Sea Salt
• 1 Tsp. Black Peppercorns
• 1 Tsp. Mustard Seeds
• 10 thin Slices of Ginger
• a Few strands of Cilantro
• 1 Pepper (I used espelette)
• 32 oz Glass Mason Jar
• A Few Rainbow Carrots

Instructions

1. Slice the daikon radish lengthwise into snack size matchsticks. Trying to get them all about the same size.
2. Slice about 3 rainbow carrots lengthwise, in half.
3. Add peppercorns and mustard seeds to a small pot and toast it a little on low heat. Then pour in the water, vinegar, and salt. Bring the brine to a simmer, stirring the salt, to dissolve it.
4. Take a clean, 32 oz, mason jar. Pack the stocks of radish, while placing the other flavors in between. Cilantro, pepper slices, and ginger. Add some rainbow carrots if you want to.
5. Pack the jar well. I added a few half size sticks on the top of everything, so that I could fill the jar, since the matchsticks are shorter than the jar.
6. Pour the hot brine with everything in the pot, into the jar, and close the lid.

Notes

This should last a few weeks at least.

Don't use apple cider vinegar. It really doesn't taste good with pickles.
