OVERNIGHT CHINESE DAIKON RADISH PICKLES



Overnight Chinese Daikon Radish Pickles image

I had a bunch of daikon radishes from my organic coop that I had no idea what to do with and so many of the recipes that I found were sophisticated Japanese dishes that I just haven't felt like making. I found this recipe for pickled daikon on allrrecipes.com. It was super easy, quick and DELICIOUS. I couldn't believe how yummy it was. I guess it is not for everyone, though. My husband wasn't as taken as I was, but my 1 1/2 yr old loved them! Salty, crunchy and a little bit of kick! Yum!

DAIKON PICKLES - #2



Daikon Pickles - #2 image

These daikon pickles are a recipe from Barbara Tropp. My daughter #2 loves these. Daughter # 3 prefers an alternate recipe I make. Things get confusing around our house when I try to please everyone at once. Any way, this is an easy pickle, flavors improve as it sits, lasts a while under refrigeration. The ginger/lemon flavors really come through here. I use a mandoline to get perfect thin slices. Most days I leave the jalapenos out, and just use the pepper flakes.

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb daikon radish, cut into paper thin slices
10 slices fresh gingerroot (paper thin slices)
2 small green jalapeno peppers, cut into paper thin rings
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 cup unseasoned japanese rice vinegar
6 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cover the daikon with boiling water and let sit for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and immediately cool down with an ice bath. Drain again.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir as it's coming up to temperature. When it gets to the boil, add the daikon slices, cover the pot and remove from the heat.
  • Cool to room temperature, transfer from the saucepan into a clean container and then store in the refrigerator, still in the pickling liquid.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and firm daikon radishes for pickling. Look for radishes that are smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of seasonings and spices to flavor your pickles. Common additions include ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce.
  • Experiment with different pickling liquids. You can use vinegar, salt water, or a combination of both.
  • Be patient! Pickled daikon radishes need time to develop their full flavor. Allow them to pickle for at least a few days before eating.
  • Store pickled daikon radishes in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.

Conclusion:

Pickled daikon radishes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great addition to salads, sandwiches, and noodle bowls.
