White Pickled Daikon

This is a quick pickle of daikon that leaves it white, NOT the luo buo gan recipe that leaves it brown and takes longer to make. I tried a random recipe and it had sugar-vinegar ratio opposite to what I expected. So it came out very sweet. I think it could be adjusted to tone down the sugar and increase the tartness. But it was very easy to make - crunchy and delicious.

  • 1/2 large daikon, peeled (~500 g) 
  • 1/2 c sugar (try reducing this next time)
  • 1 T salt
  • 1 T vinegar (try increasing this next time)
  1. Cut the daikon in quarters lengthwise. Then slice to desired thickness.
  2. Place in a large ziploc and add the remaining ingredients.
  3. Massage for a few minutes.
  4. Transfer to airtight container, like a leftover pasta sauce jar. Keep in fridge for 24 hours minimum. Flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits.
