Just Mix and Wait - Easy Pickled Daikon Radish

cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

This is the daikon radish that my mother-in-law made for the New Year's feat. It's so good that whenever I made it, it gets eaten right up!
The recipe that my mother-in-law taught is 2 kg daikon, 100 ml vinegar, 80 g salt, 2 tablespoons sake, and 300 to 400 g sugar.

I adjusted it to an easy-to-consume amount using 1/2 a daikon.

At first, I wondered if it was right to cover the daikon in sugar and salt. The water from the daikon will be drawn out, so use a container that will give the daikon some room.
If you reuse the vinegar, it will be too thin, so I recommend draining half of the water. I recommend using it as marinade, and adding in half of the amount of ingredients for a second pickling. Recipe by Popotankobu

    After 1 or 2 days, slice and serve. You can also slice them into easy to eat pieces before pickling.

    Note: When I pickled other vegetables with the daikon, the colors didn't leech out. A recipe user that they halved the amount of daikon, and it pickled in 1/2 a day.

  4. 4

    The thickness of the slices changes the taste of the pickles.

  5. 5

    I pickled some celery, too. I removed the leaves and fibers. Even though celery has a relatively distinctive flavor, these pickles were quite easy-to-eat.
