Kouhaku Namasu (Daikon and carrot pickles)

"Kouhaku" means "red and white". The combination of these two colors symbolizes something congratulatory, so it's often used in special dishes for a new year. Of course, it can also be eaten any other time as well. I love both the sweet and sour taste, and especially the texture!

Steps
- 1
In a bowl, combine the sugar and vinegar. Set aside for later.
- 2
Cut the daikon radish into 5 cm slices.
- 3
Peel them.
- 4
Place slices on end and slice thinly.
- 5
Lay the slices on top of each other.
- 6
Cut into thin julienne strips.
- 7
Prepare the carrot similarly to the daikon radish.
- 8
Place the daikon and carrot into another bowl. Add the salt and then massage the mixture with your hands. First lightly, then gradually increasing in pressure until they are soft and pliable.
- 9
When the vegetables feel sufficiently pliable, gently squeeze out any excess moisture, but not so much as to make them dry.
- 10
Mix the vegetables with the sweetened vinegar from earlier. If available, add a small amount of julienned yuzu skins to add fragrance to the pickles.
- 11
Set it aside in the fridge for at least a day to soak. This is needed to pickle the vegetables. During this time, they will soften and develop a milder flavor.

Note:
•To ensure good color distribution, make sure the amount of carrots doesn't exceed 10% of the amount of daikon.
•The amount of salt should make up around 2% of the vegetables in total.
