TOTAL TIME : 2 10

INGREDIENTS :

1 cup (2.5 dl) Korean radish or daikon (rättika)
1/4 cup (0.5 dl) white vinegar (5%)
1/4 cup (0.5 dl) sugar
1 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS :

Peel and cut the radish into cubes or thin slices.
Stir sugar, salt and vinegar to dissolve.
Place in a sealable plastic bag or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

NOTES :

These can get quite stinky when stored for more than a few hours, though it does not affect the flavor. Therefore, I always prepare them the same day.

You can easily color them by adding food coloring, beet juice etc., to the pickling juice.
