This easy pickled daikon radish needs just 3 ingredients and is ready in a day! Sweet, tangy, and crunchy—perfect for soups, woks, banh mi, and tacos.
Use two jars or one large 27-ounce jar. Peel and thinly slice the daikon (about ⅛ inch thick). A mandolin slicer works best!
In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine water, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved, then bring to a gentle boil. Add vinegar, boil again, and set aside.
In jars, combine daikon and sliced red chili. Pour hot pickling liquid over until fully submerged.
Seal the jar and let cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate for 12 hours or up to 2 days for full flavor. Enjoy with soups, noodles, and sandwiches!
Store in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks, but for the best texture and flavor, enjoy within 2 weeks.
