Crisp White Radish

Crisp White Radish

Unpeeled radish fans are salted until squeaky crisp, then tinted a natural golden hue with gardenia-soaked water, a pretty old-school trick that adds color without any dye.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Wash the white radish without peeling it.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Cut the radish vertically in half. If there are more, cut 4 more slices lengthwise, keeping them connected. The 5th cut separates them into one group.

    Sprinkle with fine salt.

    Repeatedly turning it releases moisture.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Make a pot of radish water (without the spiciness).

  6. 6
    Step image

    Soak 5 masts in water (optional).

  7. 7
    Step image

    Brew yellow natural mast water.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Pour into the bowl.

  9. 9
    Step image

    Stir repeatedly until it turns evenly yellow, then pour out the mast water.

    Step image

    Slice the green onion and ginger, and chop the small green and red peppers.

  11. 11
    Step image

    Add slices of ginger and garlic, and small pieces of green and red peppers.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fragrant vinegar, 1 spoon of sugar, and a little chicken bouillon.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Heat oil in a pot and pour it over, then mix evenly to marinate until flavorful.

  14. 14
    Step image

    Pickled crisp radish, arranged on a plate, crunchy and refreshing, with multiple flavors, very delicious (can be eaten in 2 hours).

  15. 15
    Step image

    Sprinkle some toasted white sesame seeds, pour in some broth, and the whole plate of white radish can be enjoyed in one evening.
