ingredients

  • 2 cups julienne cut (thin, skinny slices) daikon radish
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar

directions

  1. Place the daikon in a colander/mesh strainer over a bowl or the sink and sprinkle with salt. Mix well.
  2. Let sit for 30 minutes. Squeeze out excess water and then rinse well with cold water. Drain.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the seasoned rice vinegar, sugar and rice wine.

  6. Shake or stir well to combine.
  7. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.
