Recipe for Crisp and Refreshing Pickled Radish
Step 1
Ingredients: – 3 roots of white radish (about 2 pounds) – 4 cloves of garlic – 3 Thai chilis – 1 star anise – a pinch of Sichuan peppercorn Seasoning: 10g salt + 150ml soy sauce + 150ml white vinegar + 20g granulated sugar
Step 2
Preparation: 1️⃣ Cut the white radish into 0.5cm thick slices without peeling 2️⃣ Mix with 30g salt and 30g sugar, marinate for 1 hour to release water 3️⃣ Slice the garlic and cut the Thai chilis into rings (remove seeds if you prefer less spicy)
Step 3
Mixing and marinating: 1️⃣ Discard the bitter water released by the radish without rinsing 2️⃣ Squeeze out excess water (maintaining crispiness is key!)
Step 4
Essential sauce: 1️⃣ In a bowl, combine garlic slices, Thai chilis, star anise, Sichuan peppercorn, 20g granulated sugar, 150ml soy sauce, and 150ml vinegar 2️⃣ Mix until sugar is dissolved
Step 5
⏳ Flavor development: ▫️ Refrigerate and marinate for 24 hours for a fresh taste ▫️ Peak flavor after 48 hours ▫️ Best consumed within 7 days
Step 6
The amber-colored radish slices absorb the sauce, appearing translucent and shiny. They are initially sour then sweet, with a slow emergence of spiciness. Enjoy with porridge or noodles, and refrigerated consumption enhances the flavor.
