Pickled purple radish

Pickled purple radish

Strips of vivid purple radish are salted to draw out moisture, then soaked in a gently sweetened sushi-style vinegar that keeps their color brilliant and their bite refreshingly crisp.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Wash the purple radish.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Peel and cut into thick strips.

    Put the shredded radish into a large bowl, add 2 teaspoons of salt and mix well, then marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to release the water.

    Put the sushi vinegar into a small pot. (This vinegar doesn't have ordinary acidity.)

    Step image

    Add sugar and water and bring to a boil. (Adjust the amount of sugar according to your own preference for sweetness and sourness.)

  6. 6
    Step image

    Let it cool before using.

  7. 7
    Step image

    The radish was pickled for one hour and released a lot of water.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Squeeze the radish as dry as possible. (If the radish is not salty, there is no need to rinse it with water.)

  9. 9
    Step image

    Pour the cooled sweet and sour liquid into the radishes, mix well, and marinate for more than 2 hours. (If stored in the fridge, it can last 2-3 days. Try to eat it as fresh as possible. It is best to use a glass or ceramic container for the radishes.)

    Sweet and sour, very appetizing and crisp.
