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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
